Housing Resources
PHADA is building a technical resource library. The materials will be catalogued on this page so that members can download them from their desktops.
How can you help? Please send copies of all policies and procedures employed by your housing authority so they might in turn be used as models or samples by other HAs. We are especially interested in submissions that have been updated to reflect the changes required by the Quality Housing and Work Responsibility Act.
Send them by email to: .
Note about email submissions:
Include the name of the housing authority and a contact person with your email.
Submissions can be in text format or as an attachment to the message.
Please indicate the format of the submission (i.e. WordPerfect 7, MS Word 97, Excel) (PC or Mac).
Sending by U.S. mail
You may also mail materials on floppy disk (PC format) to:
PHADA, 511 Capitol Court, NE, Washington, DC 20002
What types of policies/plans are we looking for? Anything you feel might be useful to another housing authority.
Examples include:

Please send only those policies that you are certain are up-to-date and in compliance with existing statutes, rules and regulations.
Also, please do not feel confined by the policies listed above. We encourage you to send any materials you feel might be helpful to your colleagues.
