HABD Affordable Housing Preservation Summer Associates
For over eight decades, the Housing Authority Birmingham District (HABD) has been a committed leader in providing affordable housing for qualified families in the City of Birmingham. The Section 8 program provides affordable housing choices for low-income households to afford decent, safe, and sanitary housing by allowing families to choose privately owned rental housing.
Housing can include single-family homes, townhouses and apartments and is not limited to units located in subsidized housing projects. The Associates will develop and implement a program model that will in turn increase housing opportunities for low-income individuals and families experiencing a housing crisis throughout Birmingham, AL. This will include outreach and research, providing community support, and create sustainability by working with the Section 8 Director and staff members on a plan for implementation.
