For more than 60 years, Greensboro Housing Authority (GHA) has played a key role in providing housing options for low- and moderate-income citizens of Greensboro, North Carolina. Chartered in 1941 under North Carolina law as a quasi-governmental corporation, GHA is governed by a seven-member Board of Commissioners appointed by the Mayor of Greensboro. The Board of Commissioners includes two GHA community residents. GHA currently manages 2,105 public housing units in 17 different communities scattered throughout the city. GHA also administers over 2,600 Section 8 vouchers that provide rental assistance to families renting housing units owned by private landlords.

See Communities.  

In addition, GHA and community partners have been redeveloping the former Morningside Homes and the surrounding neighborhood into an attractive mixed-income community, funded in part by a federal HOPE VI grant. See HOPE VI.  

GHA has received numerous awards and recognitions for outstanding management operations, innovative programs and architectural design. A committed staff of 150 employees performs daily operations. GHA is funded from a variety of sources, including the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, rental income and grant awards.



The mission of the Greensboro Housing Authority is to provide safe, quality, affordable housing to low-income families, elderly and the disabled in the Greensboro community; to maintain a secure community environment; and to encourage personal responsibility and upward mobility of residents while maintaining the fiscal integrity of the agency.
