The Fresno Housing Authority helps more than 16,000 low income families, including seniors and the disabled, afford safe and quality housing. The agency administers diverse affordable housing and homeless programs funded by the U.S. Office of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), and the State of California. These programs help defray housing costs for residents of the city and county of Fresno with incomes substantially below the regional median income levels.
