From the Executive Director
On behalf of the Board of Commissioners and staff of the Biloxi Housing Authority, and the Biloxi Community Development Corporation, we welcome you to our website and thank you for your interest in our programs.
Since May 26, 1939, the Biloxi Housing Authority has been proud to be the premier provider of affordable housing for citizens of the City of Biloxi, Mississippi. Our Mission is to develop, support and sustain, safe quality affordable housing communities, and to encourage self-sufficiency. We continue to strive to meet this mission every day.
We provide housing to 1,743 families in the City of Biloxi, through a variety of affordable housing programs, including:
- Community Based Assistance (Rental Assistance Demonstration Program – (RAD) Project-Based Housing Choice Vouchers)
- Tenant Based Housing Choice Vouchers (Section 8)
- Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing (VASH) Vouchers
- Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) Units
- Affordable Market Rate Units
In addition, through the development and acquisition of over 800 affordable housing units in response to the housing lost to Hurricane Katrina, and through our partnerships with other service providers, we provide a variety of services on our sites to our residents. Some of these include an Early Head-Start facility, a Computer Lab, a free Health Clinic, an Assisted Living Facility at Seashore Oaks and an Adult Day Care Center, as well as referrals to many partner community agencies who offer a wide variety of services to our clients.
We hope that the features and tools on our updated website will be helpful to you in your search for safe and affordable housing in the City of Biloxi.
Sincerely,
Helen C. Werby
