Raleigh Housing Authority

The Raleigh Housing Authority (RHA) is overseen by a seven member voluntary board. I have served on the Board of Commissioners for 7 years and have had the honor to serve as chairperson for 3 of those years. We are fortunate to have a housing authority run by loyal and dedicated employees. Anyone who has lived in Raleigh more than 10 years has seen the transformation of the city's oldest and largest public housing properties into mixed-income communities that encourage work and personal responsibility. As a result of RHA's efforts, large areas of the city are seeing revitalization occur in areas where once disinvestment was the status quo. RHA cannot take total credit for the transformations, but we believe that we helped to get the momentum started. RHA started its work 75 years ago, long before many of us were born. Housing authorities came about as one of the tools in the federal tool box to bring our nation out of depression while providing decent, safe, and affordable housing. The Board and the RHA staff are honored to be able to provide a needed community service with integrity and efficiency. Thank you for your interest in our agency.
