The Housing Commission operates low-income housing assistance rental programs for families and seniors through the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).  It operates on funding received solely from rental income and federal housing subsidies.

The Housing Commission currently owns and operates five affordable housing sites, three of which are designated family living and two designated for senior living.  These sites have been named for their historical significance on recommendation of the St. Clair County Historical Society.  The first four sites were named after the four villages that merged to form the City of Port Huron (Huron Village, Gratiot Village, Desmond Village and Peru Village).  The fifth site was named after the builder of Fort St. Joseph (Dulhut).

The Housing Commissioners, along with staff, pride themselves on a strong financial commitment and they are dedicated to provide safe, sanitary and decent housing for low-income families and seniors. These commitments are achieved from our many housing, modernization, maintenance and resident service programs. The Port Huron Housing Commission has received numerous awards for its Innovative Programs.

The Mission of the Port Huron Housing Commission is to offer or provide housing assistance to the needy in ways that support families, neighborhoods and economic self-sufficiency and strive for financial soundness.

Further, it is also the mission of the Port Huron Housing Commission to improve and maintain the overall quality of its assets thereby improving the quality of life for its residents.
