Local housing agencies

Local housing agencies are government or nonprofit organizations that manage and oversee affordable housing programs within a specific area. They work to ensure residents have access to safe, decent, and affordable places to live, often by administering rental assistance, developing affordable housing projects, and enforcing housing regulations. These agencies also connect eligible individuals and families with resources and support to help them find and maintain housing. Their goal is to promote stable, inclusive communities by addressing housing needs and reducing homelessness.
