...Georgia’s Oldest and Second Largest Housing
Authority, was created by a Resolution of the City Council of Augusta,
Georgia on December 13, 1937 and a product of the Housing Act of 1937.
Today, Augusta Housing Authority - like other Housing Authorities across the
nation - is an Independent Corporation authorized by enabling Federal
Legislation and created in accordance with the Housing Authorities Law of
the State of Georgia. It operates under the supervision of the
U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. Evaluated annually
through the Public Housing Assessment System (PHAS) - a method used by HUD
for judging the successful operation of a housing authority, the Housing
Authority scores a HIGH PERFORMING status for both their Section 8 (SEMAP)
and Public Housing Programs. Because of those scores, the Housing Authority
is more likely to be eligible for
grants from Federal & State sources. Many of
the award winning programs that enhance the lives of AHA residents are
funded through those sources.
