Role of a Public Housing Agency

A Public Housing Agency is a governmental or public body that is authorized by the State to engage in or assist in the development or operation of housing for low income families. Public housing programs are managed by a variety of organizations - housing agencies, local government departments, non-profit organizations, and private property managers. In the public housing arena the agency acts as the landlord.
