 Message from
Duane L. Walker,
Executive Director
The Saginaw Housing Commission provides the opportunity for residents to live in quality housing while
participating in job training programs, recreational programs and
a variety of supportive services. The Housing Commission
continues to be the leading innovator for providing low income
housing in the city. The Housing Commission is working to
provide services to allow residents the opportunity to become
self-sufficient and eventually become homeowners. The

by increasing its rating score from last fiscal year by 7.8% to an
87.
