In order to provide safe, decent and sanitary housing for families of low-income, the Housing Authority operates 298 public housing units in developments across the city - 190 for the elderly/disabled residents, 93 for families, and 15 for physically disabled residents. Our apartments especially designed for the physically disabled include wider doorways, larger bathrooms, wheelchair ramps and handrails, and lower kitchen cabinets.
