Public Housing

Established to provide decent, safe and sanitary rental housing for eligible low-income families, the elderly and persons with special needs, public housing is an option for those with incomes up to 80 percent of the Area Median Income (AMI).

PCHA is proud of the quality housing we provide to the community. We manage three properties within Pinellas County that offer 495 units of low-cost housing. Rent is based on each resident’s income.
