The Peoria Housing Authority’s Board of Commissioners is seeking a highly qualified Executive Director/Chief Executive Officer to oversee its multi-million-dollar public housing agency and lead a broad portfolio of housing and community development initiatives.

PHA was awarded a Choice Neighborhoods Planning Grant, which is guiding a comprehensive revitalization strategy that links housing, neighborhood investment, and supportive services. The agency is also implementing a YouthBuild program, providing education and construction-skills training for young adults, and a Jobs Plus initiative focused on employment, earnings, and financial counseling for residents. Governed by a five-member Board of Commissioners, the Peoria Housing Authority is committed to expanding opportunity, improving quality of life, and partnering with residents and community stakeholders to strengthen neighborhoods across Peoria.
