 The main office will be open to the public by appointment only on June 1st and we will reopen the lobby on June 8th.
 
 Social distancing practices will be in place with limited visitors in the building.  Face coverings are required for entry.  Communication and appointments are still available and encouraged through electronic means where possible. 
 
 Program applications are also now available in application stations outside of our main office during normal business hours.


Secretary of the Department of Housing and Urban Development, Dr. Benjamin Carson, Sr., was added to the White House Coronavirus Task Force. The risk of infection for Americans remains low and all agencies are working aggressively to monitor this evolving situation. 

The federal government is working closely with state, local, tribal, and territorial partners, as well as public health partners, to respond to this public health threat. As part of the multi-layered, cross-agency public health response, we encourage Public Housing Authorities to make the following information from the CDC available to their residents:
