Public Housing Agencies, commonly referred to as Housing Authorities and abbreviated as PHAs, are federally funded and regulated organizations tasked with developing long-term, sustainable housing strategies for the communities they serve.
Housing authorities offer many services for those within their jurisdiction, most notably the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher and Public Housing programs. Each housing authority participates in a different array of programs to best meet the needs of their community.
There are 12 public housing agencies in Montana managing a total of 23 affordable housing waiting lists that are open now or opening soon.
Montana housing authorities serve 9052 households through public housing and housing choice voucher programs. Montana's PHAs serve the most vulnerable residents with 37 percent of renter households in the state earning less than half the Area Median Income.
