Cumberland Housing Authority
The Cumberland Housing Authority (CHA) plays a pivotal role in addressing the housing needs of individuals and families in Cumberland County. By offering affordable housing options and rental assistance programs, CHA ensures that low-income families, elderly citizens, and individuals with disabilities have access to safe and secure homes. Additionally, the organization works tirelessly to improve the quality of life for residents by implementing initiatives aimed at economic self-sufficiency and community development. For those who qualify, CHA's Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program is a significant resource that provides rental subsidies, making rental payments more affordable.
