Public Housing Available Properties Income Limits Apply Now Public Housing HCV/Section 8 Landlords FAQ's The job of The Phenix City Housing Authority (PCHA) pursuant to HUD regulations is to provide decent, safe, and sanitary housing, in good repair, to low-income families at an affordable rent. Our Agency screens applicants for public housing and, if they are found eligible and accepted, PCHA offers the applicant a unit. If the applicant accepts the offer, our Agency will enter into a contract with the applicant known as the lease. At this point, the applicant becomes a tenant of the public housing program. Since PCHA owns the public housing development, our Agency is the landlord. PCHA must comply with all the legal and management responsibilities of a landlord in addition to administering the program in accordance with HUD regulations and our Agency’s policy. HUD writes and publishes regulations to implement public housing laws enacted by Congress. HUD contracts with the Public Housing Authority (PHA) to administer programs in accordance with HUD regulations and provides an operating subsidy to the PHA. The PHA must create written policies that are consistent with HUD regulations. Among these policies is the PHA’s Admissions and Continued Occupancy Policy (ACOP). The ACOP must be approved by the board of commissioners of the PHA. PCHA receives its operating subsidy for the public housing program from the Department of Housing and Urban Development. PCHA is not a federal department or agency. A Public Housing Agency (PHA) is a governmental or public body, created through state enabling legislation to develop and operate housing and housing programs for low-income families. Our Agency enters into an Annual Contributions Contract (ACC) with HUD to administer the public housing program. PCHA must ensure compliance with federal laws, regulations, and notices and must establish policy and procedures to clarify federal requirements and to ensure consistency in program operation. The Phenix City Housing Authority Public Housing Program consists of 4 developments, allowing you the opportunity to live in an area that suits your needs. Prior to applying, please take the time to review the number of units for each development, the local schools, and what is happening close to the property.

Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) | Section 8 The Housing Choice Voucher/Section 8 Program is a federal government program for assisting very low-income families, the elderly, and the disabled to afford decent, safe, and sanitary housing in the private market. Housing assistance is provided on behalf of the family or individual, allowing participants to identify housing in the private market. The participant is free to choose any housing that meets the requirements of the program and where the landlord is willing to accept the voucher payment. Housing Choice Vouchers are administered locally by the Phenix City Housing Authority (PCHA). PCHA receives federal funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to administer the voucher program. A family that is issued a housing voucher is responsible for finding a suitable housing unit of the family’s choice where the owner agrees to rent under the program. This unit may include the family’s present residence. Rental units must meet minimum standards of health and safety, as determined by the Agency. A housing subsidy is paid to the landlord directly by PCHA on behalf of the participating family. The family then pays the difference between the actual rent charged by the landlord and the amount subsidized by the program. The Housing Choice Voucher Program Administrative Plan establishes guidelines for applicant eligibility and continued rental assistance. Project-Based Vouchers (PBVs) Project-based vouchers (PBVs) are a component of our Agency’s Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) program. The PBV program offers rental housing options at specific housing locations. Assistance is attached to particular rental units, meaning if you live in a rental unit under the PBV Program and move, the assistance stays with the unit. The Project-Based Voucher program differs from the tenant-based Housing Choice Voucher program in that the rental subsidy is tied to the housing development or to a unit within the development. PCHA is not allocated additional funding for PBV units, but PCHA uses its tenant-based voucher funding to allocate project-based units to a project. Projects are typically selected for PBVs through a competitive process managed by the Agency, although in certain cases, projects may be selected non-competitively. PCHA offers 5 PBV properties | click here for property information *The HCV/PBV Waiting List is now closed, please check back for future dates to apply.
