About Kokomo Housing Authority

The Housing Authority of the City of Kokomo originated as a result of the U.S. Housing Act of 1937. The Kokomo City Council authorized the establishment of the Housing Authority and gave the mayor authorization to appoint a board to oversee operations of Public Housing. A Board of Commissioners consisting of five (7) members is appointed by the mayor, each appointment is for a term of four (4) years.

Kokomo Housing Authority is federally funded through the Department of Housing and Urban Development. An operating budget is submitted annually and HUD subsidizes a portion of the operating expenses in excess of KHA's income (or a percentage of the amount requested). The Housing Authority receives no city funding. KHA can boast excellent financial management ratings, showing wise investments and conservative spending.

The Section 8 Existing Housing Program was added to KHA operations in 1977. This program subsidizes privately-owned affordable housing for eligible applicants. Tenants pay 30% of income and KHA subsidizes the difference, up to the fair market rent amount, to the landlord.
