ORLO’s Promise: Affordable, Quality Homes for 1,000+ Michiganders—Without the Stigma

For decades, “affordable housing” has too often been treated like a euphemism. At ORLO, we mean exactly what we say: dignified, well-managed homes that people are proud to live in. Across Regal Towers and Imperial Apartments in Southfield, our team is actively leasing toward 1,000 affordable units for Michiganders—while raising the bar on service, safety, and community.

What “affordable” means at ORLO

• Predictable rents + real service. Our residents get responsive maintenance, clean common areas, and on-site teams who know their buildings.

• Housing Choice Vouchers welcomed. We accept HCV/“Section 8” residents and work closely with local agencies to streamline move-ins and renewals. The HCV program provides reliable rent payments to owners and requires regular inspections so homes stay decent, safe, and sanitary. eCFR+3HUD+3files.hudexchange.info+3

Tackling the stigma head-on

Let’s address a few persistent myths about voucher holders:

• “Voucher residents don’t pay rent on time.” A portion of rent is paid directly to owners by the housing agency; residents pay their share like any other tenant.

  
  

• “Voucher housing lowers community standards.” Participation requires initial and periodic inspections under HUD standards—often raising consistency in building upkeep.

  
  

• “Voucher tenants are riskier.” Outcomes vary by individual—just like any renter group—and research focuses more on access barriers than on heightened tenancy risk.
