Public Housing Agencies (PHAs)

Public Housing Agencies (PHAs) are government or non-profit organizations responsible for managing and overseeing affordable housing programs for low-income individuals and families. They develop, maintain, and operate housing projects, and administer rental assistance programs like Section 8, ensuring residents have access to safe, decent, and affordable homes. PHAs often collaborate with federal, state, and local agencies to address housing needs, improve community resources, and promote stable living conditions. Their role is essential in helping those with limited income secure stable housing and improve overall community well-being.
