Thank you for your interest in our organization. For more than 45 years, the Appleton Housing Authority (AHA) has played a key role in providing housing options for low and moderate income households. The Appleton Housing Authority was organized July 7, 1967, after the Appleton Common Council determined the need for an Authority. That need was based upon an exploding senior population that faced a shortage of adequate and affordable housing. The first Board of Commissioners appointed by the Mayor, worked hard in developing the community's first high-rise, (opening in 1971) offering affordable housing for senior residents.

Today, this facility is commonly known as Oneida Heights. With the passage of the Housing and Community Development Act in 1974, rental assistance funds became available under the Section 8 Program, as did public housing scattered site family development funding. Inflation and high unemployment in the 70's made it harder for lower income families to afford decent housing and the demand for affordable housing continued to grow.

The Appleton Housing Authority responded to those demands, and today operates 547 units under the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program, 50 Veteran Assistance Supportive Housing (VASH) Vouchers, 153 Senior Public Housing Units, 57 Scattered Site Family Housing Units, 70 units under the Section 8 Substantial Rehab and Tax Credit Program, an Affordable Homeownership Program, and an active Family Self-Sufficiency Program.
