About the Program
Public Housing and Project-Based Vouchers
The Greensboro Housing Authority (GHA) provides affordable housing opportunities for eligible low-income families, older adults, and persons with disabilities through federally assisted housing programs. These programs help make safe, decent, and affordable housing more accessible to individuals and families in our community.
GHA operates a public housing community and administers Project-Based Vouchers (PBVs), a component of the federal Housing Choice Voucher Program. Through the PBV program, rental assistance is connected to specific housing units in designated properties, helping eligible households afford their rent. Both programs are administered in accordance with applicable U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) requirements.
Greensboro Housing Authority operates 2,279 units in 21 communities throughout the City of Greensboro, NC, ranging from a small 11-unit community to a large 430-unit community. Tenants’ rental rates are based on income with families typically paying between 30% and 40% of their adjusted annual income towards housing costs.
