Public Housing Agency

A Public Housing Agency (PHA) is a government organization that provides affordable housing options to low- and moderate-income families, seniors, and individuals with disabilities. PHAs manage and maintain public housing developments, administer rental assistance programs like Section 8, and ensure housing standards are met. They work to create safe, decent, and affordable living environments, often partnering with other community services. By doing so, PHAs help reduce homelessness and housing insecurity, making it easier for qualifying residents to access stable housing.
