History 

The Housing Authority has come a long way since its creation in 1959. At its core, the Housing Authority’s mission has always been to provide affordable housing to lower income persons. Initially, housing assistance was provided exclusively through the Public Housing Program. Lang Manor was the first Public Housing development opened in 1963, followed by the construction of 15 other Public Housing buildings and developments through 1986. There are now a total of 725 units.

In addition to the Public Housing Program, the Housing Authority implemented the Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) Rental Assistance Program in the mid 1970s. Over time, the Authority gradually increased the size of the HCV Program. Today, the Authority is authorized to assist more than 1,072 families.
