Our Objectives

The Admissions and Continued Occupancy Plan for the Housing Choice Voucher Program is designed to achieve the following objectives:
- To provide improved living conditions for very low and low income families while maintaining their rent payments at an affordable level.
- To operate a socially and financially sound Public Housing Agency that provides drug-free, decent, safe, and sanitary housing with a suitable living environment for tenants and their families.
- To avoid concentrations of economically and socially deprived families throughout our jurisdiction
- To lawfully deny the admission of applicants, or the continued occupancy of residents, whose habits and practices reasonably may be expected to adversely affect the health, safety, comfort or welfare of other residents or the physical environment of the neighborhood, or create a danger to our employees.
- To attempt to house a tenant body that is composed of families with a broad range of incomes and rent-paying abilities that is representative of the range of families in our jurisdiction.
- To promote upward mobility opportunities for families who desire to achieve self-sufficiency.
- To facilitate the judicious management of the PHA and efficient management of PHA staff.
- To ensure compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and all other applicable Federal laws and regulations so that the admissions and continued occupancy are conducted without regard to race, color, religion, creed, sex, national origin, handicap, or familial status, sexual preference, or age.
