We develop, acquire, lease and operate affordable housing for city residents with limited incomes.

Our funding comes primarily from the federal government. We also work in partnership with the city and state governments as well as private investors.

Although we are a public agency, we operate in many ways like a private property management company. We employ the best practices of the private real estate industry.

PHA was established in 1937 and is the nation's fourth largest housing authority. We house nearly 80,000 people in the City of Philadelphia and we employ 1,406 people to deliver services to our clients. Our budget totals $371 million.
