Athens Georgia Housing Authority

Althoughmany housing authorities manage the Section 8 Program in their communities, theAthens Housing Authority does not.

The Athens housing authority does provide Public Housing. 

There are a few steps to help us serve you to determine if you qualify for an apartment.  Please review the following criteria to see if you are eligible:
    Be a family as defined in the Athens Housing Authority's Admission and Continued Occupancy Policy (ACOP) or as superseded by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) regulations.
    Meet the HUD requirements for citizenship and immigration status. Housing assistance is available only to individuals who are U.S. citizens, nationals, or noncitizens that have eligible immigrations status.  At least one family member must be a citizen, national, or noncitizen with eligible immigration status in order for the family to qualify for any level of assistance.
