Description: | Public housing was created to afford safe rental housing for the elderly, eligible low-income families, and the disabled. You can find public housing in different property types such as single family homes to high-rise apartments. There are over a million households living in public housing units, managed by over 3000 Housing Authorities in the United States. HUD and the Dept. of Housing dispense federal funds to these local housing authorities and housing agencies that provide affordable rentals to low-income residents. |
