About Us
Public housing has been a part of this country since Thomas Jefferson formed federal regulations to keep housing safe in 1790. Since then, many additional measures have been taken to ensure safe and affordable housing since our founding fathers recognized the need in the early 18th century. Today, public housing gives a hand up for those that are in need. Public housing empowers its residents by challenging them to work their way out of the system of public support into self-sufficiency.
