Public Housing Authorities (PHAs)

Public Housing Authorities (PHAs) are local government agencies responsible for overseeing and managing public housing programs. Their primary goal is to provide affordable housing options for low- and moderate-income families, seniors, and individuals with disabilities. PHAs manage properties, administer rental assistance programs like Section 8, and ensure that housing standards are maintained. They also work to improve communities and promote access to services, aiming to support residents in achieving self-sufficiency. By bridging the gap between government resources and housing needs, PHAs play a crucial role in addressing housing challenges in their communities.
