About Georgetown Housing Authority

Public Housing was established to provide decent and safe rental housing for eligible low-income families, the elderly, and persons with disabilities. Public Housing comes in all sizes and types. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) administers Federal aid to local housing agencies (HAs) that manage the housing for low-income residents at rents they can afford. HUD furnishes technical and professional assistance in planning, developing and managing these developments.

The Section 8 Rental Assistance or Housing Choice Voucher program, is a federally funded program designed to help eligible low income families secure decent, safe and sanitary housing. The Georgetown Housing Authority administers the program by providing vouchers that enable eligible families to seek out suitable housing in the private sector. To participate in the Section 8 program, head of households must be at least eighteen (18) years of age or legally emancipated. All rental units must meet housing quality standards (pass inspection), and the rent requested by the landlord must be within program affordability limits, and reasonable for the area where the unit is located. The security deposit and deposits for utilities, if applicable, are the participant’s full responsibility.


Mission Statement

Georgetown Housing Authority's Mission is to provide quality, affordable housing for those in need, assist residents in their efforts to achieve financial independence, and work with the community to strengthen our neighborhoods.
