LOW-INCOME PUBLIC HOUSING PROGRAM
The Public Housing (PH) Program was established by the U.S. Housing Act of 1937 to provide decent, safe and sanitary housing for low-income families, elderly, and persons with disabilities. The ACHA owns and operates Public Housing complexes throughout Allegheny County, consisting of high-rise apartments, walk-up apartments, townhouse apartments, and single-family homes. The ACHA receives federal funding subsidies and program participants pay rent based on their income.
