DEARBORN CITY AND COMMISSION FIVE-HOUSING-SITE REVIEW — https://dearborn.gov/dearbornhousing and https://dearborn.gov/residents/services-adults-55/senior-housing, checked September 30, 2026, identify FIVE residences, not five Commission buildings. The federally designated Dearborn Housing Commission manages Townsend Towers (7000 Freda), Kennedy Plaza (5111 Bingham), and Sisson Manor (1515 Mason); all three waitlists are listed full/closed, and the Commission does NOT run Section 8/Housing Choice Vouchers. Separately, the City Housing Division operates John B. O'Reilly Jr. Manor (22077 Beech; 207 units, closed to new applications) and Suzanne Sareini Manor (5500 Calhoun; 132 units, accepting applications but no verified vacancy). The City's July 2026 sheet https://dearborn.gov/sites/default/files/2026-06/CITY%20BUILDING%20INFORMATION%20SHEET%20FOR%20APPLICATION.pdf lists one-bedroom units around 506 square feet, $792/month effective July 1, included utilities and building features for the two City-owned manors, not the three Commission buildings. Sareini's https://dearborn.gov/sites/default/files/2026-07/Sareini%20Manor%20Application_07222026_AdobeEdit.pdf says a felony conviction MAY result in denial after criminal/credit/eviction screening; do not treat that City application as a blanket rule for Commission properties, which state only background checks. Separate application forms are required; contact the City Housing Division at (313) 943-2391 or Housing@Dearborn.gov. 22077 Beech is both O'Reilly's residence and the application office; do not create a second apartment for the office. Inventory and applications are not vacant units.
