The GCHA is responsible for the management and operation of our local Public Housing program, as well as our other housing programs such as the Section 8 Program.

Our ongoing functions in the Public Housing Program include:

• Assuring compliance with leases.  The Lease must be signed by both parties;
• Setting other charges like security deposits, excess utility consumption, and damages to units;
• Performing periodic reexaminations of a family’s income at least once every 12 months;
• Transferring families from one unit to another in order to correct over or under crowding, repairing or renovating a dwelling, or due to resident’s requests to be transferred;
• Terminating leases when necessary; and
• Maintaining our developments in a decent, safe, and sanitary condition.
