The Tacoma Housing Authority (THA) is to provide high quality housing and supportive services to persons and families in need. We seek to do this in ways that gets two other things done. First, we want the households we serve to succeed not just as tenants but as "parents, students, wage earners and builders of assets." If they are capable of working, we want people's time on our programs to be transforming, and temporary. Second, we want to help Tacoma develop and to help ensure that when it does develop it has room for all types of households. We also seek to do our part in making its neighborhoods attractive places to live, work, attend school, shop, and play, and for Tacoma to be "safe, vibrant, prosperous, attractive and just." Our status as a public development authority helps us do this. We do this work in five main ways.

First, THA develops housing and real estate. THA, by what it builds and how it builds, seeks to create and promote communities that serve a range of needs and that are financially sustainable, environmentally innovative, and attractive.

Second, THA owns and manages affordable apartments and homes that we offer for rent. We seek to maintain our properties so they are attractive and enjoyable places to live and assets for their neighborhoods.

Third, we help people pay their rent for apartments or homes that they lease from private landlords. Our Housing Choice Voucher Program (Section 8) and our Housing Opportunity Program (HOP) are our main programs for this type of help. We do this in partnership with thousands of landlords in our community.

Fourth, we have programs that help families purchase their first home.

Fifth, THA also provides or arranges for supportive services. We do this for people who need help to succeed as tenants. Elderly or disabled persons, for example, may need help to live on their own. Families coming from homelessness or fleeing domestic violence may need help to stabilize. Moreover, we also want to help people who can work to prosper. In this way, we want our housing to be a transforming experience for them. Services make this success more likely.

In these ways, and others, THA seeks to serve its communities. We are a staff of about 115 people. We coordinate our efforts with many partners, both public and private. We believe this work is important to the people and communities we serve. We try to do it efficiently and effectively. I invite you to learn more about us and our work. I hope this web site will help you do that.

THA provides high quality, stable and sustainable housing and supportive services to people in need. It does this in ways that help them prosper and help our communities become safe, vibrant, prosperous, attractive and just.
