Where will you live?

House? Condo? Apartment? Roommate? Check the HOA Housing website first!

If you are searching for a place to live the HOA runs our own Housing Website. Our site's audience is narrowly directed at Residents and Fellows. We aim to link up exiting and former House Officers with incoming and current ones.

If you are not finding what you need there, be sure to check out the Housing Guide put together by Michigan Medicine, or perhaps take a look at the University's Off-campus Housing Website.

There may also be space available in U of M Graduate Housing. Residents and Fellows can inquire on the University's Graduate Housing Website.

In Desperate Need of Cash?

The HOA contract allows for an advance on your first paycheck once you start.

¶15 - No later than the end of the second full week of employment, an Employee may request an advance on the salary which will be due for the first full month's employment. In the event of such an advance, the advance will be offset against either that month's salary or the next month's salary. Employees will be provided with information by the Employer regarding this option prior to or during orientation.
