Public Housing Administration

The Public Housing Administration is a government agency that provides affordable rental housing to low- and moderate-income families, seniors, and individuals with specific needs. It manages and oversees public housing projects to ensure safe, quality living environments. Funding typically comes from federal, state, or local sources, and the agency sets policies for allocation, maintenance, and tenant support. Its goal is to promote housing stability and reduce homelessness by making quality housing accessible and affordable for those who might otherwise struggle to find suitable shelter.
