The Granite City Housing Authority was created in 1939 under the United States Housing Act. Granite City Housing Authority receives subsidy from the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development. This subsidy is used to provide affordable housing to eligible applicants.
Granite City Housing Authority has resumed the construction of 43 “green” units. The project is located on Nameoki Road on the site of recently demolished units built in the 1940 era.
The project is partially financed by a grant from the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development. The development was designed and is being constructed to meet rigorous criteria which focus on both sustainable design and energy efficiency in developments. Each unit will be energy efficient with a well insulated building and this will result in substantial utility savings for the HA and the residents.
The mission of Granite City Housing Authority is to provide financially stable, safe, sanitary, decent and affordable housing to those who are eligible for assistance and have demonstrated their willingness and ability to adhere to the terms of a lease.
Consistent with our mission statement, we have established the following goals and objectives we plan to achieve in the next five years.
