Who We Are - Plant City Housing

Our Mission

The PHA’s mission is to provide safe, decent and sanitary housing conditions for very low-income families and to manage resources efficiently. The PHA is to promote personal, economic and social upward mobility to provide families with the opportunity to make the transition from subsidized to non-subsidized housing.

The Housing Authority will create and maintain partnerships with its clients and appropriate community agencies in order to accomplish this mission.

The Low Rent Housing Program consists of Public Housing, which are units that are owned and managed by the Housing Authority.

The Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program utilizes privately owned properties that are leased to tenants with the Housing Authority paying a portion of the monthly rent to owner with the balance being paid by the tenant.
