Public Housing Authorities (PHA)

Public Housing Authorities (PHAs) are government agencies responsible for managing, developing, and maintaining affordable housing options for low-income individuals and families. They allocate rental assistance, oversee public housing units, and ensure safe, quality living conditions. PHAs work with federal funding and programs like Section 8 to help residents afford housing and promote community stability. Their role is to make housing accessible and affordable, addressing housing needs within their communities through regulation, support services, and oversight.
