The Hazleton Housing Authority (HHA) provides affordable, decent, and sanitary housing opportunities to low and moderate-income families, including elderly and disabled persons, while supporting programs for economic self-sufficiency and personal growth. The plan addresses the significant need for low-income housing assistance and quality housing units through its Section 8 program. Key strategies include achieving 100 percent lease-up, effectively serving clients, adhering to applicable HUD regulations and federal legislation, and achieving attainable goals in the simplest, most cost-effective manner.
