  • Accessible Units Available

    The Jackson County Housing Authority (JCHA) has accessible units available for persons with disabilities. These units are located in various developments through out the county. If you are a JCHA resident that has a disability or someone who will be applying for housing with the JCHA, please be aware that you can request an accessible unit if your disability requires one. The housing authority has forms that can be filled out requesting an accessible unit at the time an application is done. If your disability has occurred since becoming a resident, you should discuss your situation with your property manager and request an accessible unit if needed because of your disability. Unless your disability is visually obvious (such as being confined to a wheelchair or having a visual or hearing impairment) the housing authority may require verification from your physician or another verifiable source, that your disability requires an accessible unit. If the kind of accessible unit you require is already occupied by someone that has a disability requiring such a unit, you will be placed on a list for the required accessible unit as soon as one becomes available.

The Low Rent Public Housing Program was created by the U.S. Housing Act of 1937.

The Housing Authority of Jackson County has a total of 826 public units that have designations of family, disabled and elderly.  We take pride that we offer safe, clean and affordable housing for those who are in need and qualify.  We have a dedicated staff that is here to serve the needs of our tenants.

A resident's rent in the public housing program is subsidized by the federal government. Applicants to the public housing program must be income eligible and residents must adhere to program rules.
