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 30 public housing agencies in Rhode Island managing a total of 64 affordable housing waiting lists that are open now or opening soon.
Rhode Island housing authorities serve 20552 households through public housing and housing choice voucher programs. Rhode Island's PHAs serve the most vulnerable residents with 45 percent of renter households in the state earning less than half the Area Median Income.
