Local Public Housing Authorities
Local Public Housing Authorities (PHAs) are government agencies responsible for managing, maintaining, and overseeing affordable housing programs within a specific area. They provide rental assistance to eligible low-income families, seniors, and individuals with disabilities, helping them access safe and affordable homes. PHAs administer programs like Public Housing and the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher program, ensuring housing options are available and maintained according to standards. They also collaborate with other agencies to address community housing needs, offering support services to promote stable, sustainable living environments for those in need.
