The East Providence Housing Authority (EPHA) was created in 1961 to address the needs of housing for low income families in the City of East Providence. Since that time we have provided decent, safe, and sanitary housing for eligible low-income families, persons with disabilities, and the elderly. Our funding is received from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).

Currently, our agency owns, manages, and maintains 419 units in the form of 3 high-rise buildings, 3 two-story walk-up buildings, and scattered duplex sites. The rent charged for these units is based on 30% of the household's adjusted monthly income. In addition, the EPHA administers 445 Housing Choice Vouchers that allow families to lease out in the community.

It is the mission of the East Providence Housing Authority to provide adequate and affordable housing in a suitable living environment free from discrimination, and to promote self- sufficiency in our community.
