Housing Authority of the City of Pittsburgh

The Housing Authority of the City of Pittsburgh (HACP) is a municipal corporation, formed under the United States Housing Act of 1937, charged with providing decent, affordable housing for low-income persons.

HACP provides publicly assisted housing comprised of traditional public housing, scattered sites and Housing Choice Vouchers (Section 8). We currently house more than 20,000 Pittsburghers, manage more than 4,000 public housing units, and provide oversight of an additional 900 mixed-finance units.

More than half of our residents live in privately-managed rental properties located throughout the City of Pittsburgh, throughout their participation in the Housing Choice Voucher Program (Section 8). Our facilities are conveniently located throughout Pittsburgh, with public and senior housing communities located in each region of the city.
