The State of North Carolina chartered the Raleigh Housing Authority (RHA) in 1938. The first two developments constructed to replace substandard housing in the City of Raleigh were occupied in 1940 and 1941. Currently, RHA owns and manages over 1,400 public housing units and administers more than 3,900 Section 8 vouchers.
The occupancy rate for public housing is 99+% and the Section 8 Program is 100% utilized. There is a waiting list for both programs. RHA has a nine member Board of Commissioners that provides oversight for the Authority. RHA is active in the following areas: Capital Fund Program, Resident Initiatives and Housing for Seniors.
