OUR HISTORY & TODAY...Georgia’s
Oldest and Second Largest Housing Authority, was created by a Resolution of
the City Council of Augusta, Georgia on December 13, 1937 and a product of
the Housing Act of 1937.Today, Augusta Housing Authority - like other
Housing Authorities across the nation - is an Independent Corporation
authorized by enabling Federal Legislation and created in accordance with
the Housing Authorities Law of the State of Georgia. It operates under the
supervision of the
U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development. Evaluated annually through
the Public Housing Assessment System (PHAS) - a method used by HUD for
judging the successful operation of a housing authority, the Housing
Authority scores a HIGH PERFORMING status for both their Section 8 (SEMAP)
and Public Housing Programs. Because of those scores, the Housing Authority
is more likely to be eligible for
grants from Federal &
State sources. Many of the award winning programs that enhance the lives of AHA
residents are funded through those sources.
