Services:

Public Housing Program
The Public Housing Program provides safe and affordable rental housing for eligible low-income families, the elderly, and people with disabilities. These housing units are managed by local public housing agencies, ensuring that tenants have access to necessary resources and support services.
Housing Choice Voucher Program (Section 8)
The Housing Choice Voucher Program, commonly known as Section 8, assists very low-income families, the elderly, and the disabled in affording decent, safe, and sanitary housing in the private market. Participants receive vouchers that cover a portion of their rent, with the remainder paid directly to landlords by local public housing agencies.
Emergency Housing Vouchers
Emergency Housing Vouchers (EHVs) are designed to help individuals and families who are homeless, at risk of homelessness, or fleeing domestic violence. These vouchers provide immediate housing assistance, prioritizing the most vulnerable populations to ensure they have safe and stable living conditions.
Client Services
Client Services encompass a wide range of support and resources provided to individuals and families seeking housing assistance. These services include housing counseling, financial literacy education, job training, and access to community resources, all aimed at helping clients achieve long-term stability and self-sufficiency.
