The Housing Authority provides families with affordable housing

Guided by a six-member board of commissioners and staffed by 64, the Housing Authority owns and manages more than 2000 units of subsidized and affordable housing. The Housing Authority also directs dozens of innovative programs that enhance the quality of people's lives and creates a more strongly knit community.

Today state and local governments are taking the lead for meeting the housing needs of their communities. Because of declining federal funds and less available housing stock, the Housing Authority has moved beyond its original mission of serving very low income and is assisting working families who are squeezed by ever-increasing rent and housing costs.

The Housing Authority enhances quality of life

A roof and four walls is just one of the necessary elements toward nurturing healthy, self-sufficient families. Empowering people with the necessary skills to keep a roof over their heads is critically important, as well. The Housing Authority partners with social service agencies throughout the county to offer skills families need to thrive.

HASCO will provide interpreters free of charge to assist those with language translation.
