Answer 1

you may want to try around the wayne state area!! i love it there and the rents are fromm30 a month and up!! also...near by royal oak, and oak park may be better and are a short commute!!!

Answer 2

My husband works in Detroit and the economy is not as bad as everyone says, he just got another job offer yesterday.  You have to put your name out there, start at the bottom and work your way up.  Housing is available every where, vacant apartments in almost every building, you'll be fine, I'm not sure where any low income housing is but i'm sure you will find some and everythign will work out great.  Good luck!
