Public housing was established to provide decent and safe rental housing for eligible low-income families, the elderly, and persons with disabilities. Public housing comes in all sizes and types, from scattered single family houses to highrise apartments for elderly families. There are approximately 1.2 million households living in public housing units, managed by some 3,300 HAs. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) administers Federal aid to local housing agencies (HAs) that manage the housing for low-income residents at rents they can afford. HUD furnishes technical and professional assistance in planning, developing and managing these developments.

The Housing Choice Voucher Program (Section 8) is the federal government’s major program for assisting low-income families, the elderly and the disabled to afford decent, safe, and sanitary housing in the private market.

The mission of the Cloquet HRA is to support affordable housing opportunities and strong communities through both its programs and partnerships.
