U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. Evaluated annually through the Public Housing Assessment System (PHAS) - a method used by HUD for judging the successful operation of a housing authority, the Housing Authority scores a HIGH PERFORMING status for both their Section 8 (SEMAP) and Public Housing Programs. Because of those scores, the Housing Authority is more likely to be eligible for grants from Federal & State sources. Many of the award winning programs that enhance the lives of AHA residents are funded through those sources.
