Milledgeville Housing Authority

Milledgeville Housing Authority The Milledgeville Housing Authority was organized in 1957. Public housing depends on federal funding to survive.

The Public Housing program was created in 1937 to provide decent, safe and sanitary housing for America's working poor. Since that time, the program as been expanded to include housing of the elderly, handicapped or disable, and other eligible families of limited means, whose income is derived from other sources. This funding appears in the federal Budget in three line categories. (1) Operating Su

bsidy (2) Modernization, and (3) Development or Major Reconstruction. Each Housing Authority operates within its own budget comprised of a combination of Federal subsidy, rents, and investments and other income generated by the Housing Authority. The need for operation subsidy is based on Congress's decision in 1968 to limit residents rent to a percentage of income. This decision came at the same time that resident income was on the decrease nation wide. The 1981 Housing and Community Development amendments further increased Public Housing Authorities reliance on operating subsidy by targeting of Public Housing to the poorest of eligible families. No Authority likes to rely on subsidy for survival and seeks other means to increase its revenue, and decrease its expenditures without cutting services to residents. As rental revenues and investment income grows, the need for subsidy decreases. Capital Improvements- The PIH Office of Capital Improvements administers the Capital Fund. The Capital Fund provides funds, annually, to Public Housing Agencies (PHAs) for the development, financing, and modernization of public housing developments and for management improvements. Six Commissioners were appointed to the Housing Authority Board by the Mayor. The Commissioners created and adopted policies, adopt and approved budgetary expenditures, and implemented regulations as required by federal law
