Public Housing Agencies

Public housing agencies (PHAs) are local government organizations that manage and oversee affordable housing programs for low- and moderate-income individuals and families. They allocate government funds for housing assistance, manage public housing developments, and administer programs like the Housing Choice Voucher Program (Section 8), which helps renters afford private housing. PHAs aim to provide safe, decent, and affordable living conditions while promoting economic self-sufficiency and community development. This involves collaborating with other agencies and organizations to address housing needs within their communities effectively.
