Rochester Housing Authority

The Rochester Housing Authority (RHA) is an independent public corporation established by NYS Public Housing Law with funding provided by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). At RHA, we believe that providing quality housing opportunities and resources that offer a clear path to self-sufficiency, are key to a brighter future for all. Our vision is to lead the charge in developing and cultivating dynamic, economically sustainable and desirable communities that everyone can be proud to call home. We offer a variety of options for limited income families and individuals across the greater Rochester region, from our 2,400 public housing rental properties to a diverse selection of rental assistance programs like Section 8. In total, we assist more than 26,000 people in our community on their journey to self-sufficiency.
