Our Partners
Catholic Community Response Team operates within the same building as the Pontiac Housing Commission, working closely with residents throughout the city to provide services such as immediate clothing and food resources, identification resources, eviction prevention, utility payment assistance, holiday programs and more.
The Family Living Center is also headquartered on premises, focusing on serving adult individuals with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities in Oakland County through direct care workers, home managers, the operation of seven group home facilities and more.
Family Self-Sufficiency Program
Family’s within our jurisdiction may apply to join a self-sufficiency program with the housing commission. The purpose of the program is to reduce a family’s or individual’s reliance on rental assistance and federal programs, while increasing income and independence. Enrollees benefit from individualized assistance such as job training, child care, transportation and an interest bearing escrow account held by the housing commission. Enrollees earn credits for the account based on increased income through the program and, once the program is completed, may claim the account once all members of the family are no longer receiving welfare assistance.
Notary Services
Notary services are now available at the Pontiac Housing Commission.
Cost for these services is $5 for our tenants, or $8 for the general public.
