OK but that does not change the fact that subsidized housing is not by any stretch of the imagination something you can count on. You might not quality for it and even if you do, the waiting lists are years long....everywhere. If that's plan A, you need a plan B.

In the course of my work, I was in several of the senior/disabled buildings in the Detroit suburbs. They seemed fine to me. Yes, you would have to apply ahead or be willing to live in another suburb. Most of the time, though, you have time to plan ahead. Some of the disabled were able to get in directly from nursing home care.

I hope there's more to the story regarding another poster's statement that that people stay in Section 8 indefinitely. There definitely should be an upper limit for househod income. Very often women in Section 8 live with their boyfriend who has a job but hide the fact that he's there. Sometimes he's the father of their children but not on the birth certificate. The system is overloaded in part by people who are not 100% honest.
Everything is not what it seems. I try hard not to judge people unless I have walked in their shoes.

Many folks do not have a choice.
