Public Housing

The Salem Housing Authority owns or operates 337 apartments and homes for families, seniors and persons with disabilities under the HUD-funded Public Housing program.  Of these, 188 units are found in seven apartment complexes located in various Salem neighborhoods.  The remaining 87 units are single-family homes and duplexes located throughout the Salem and Keizer area.  Tenant portion of rent for all Public Housing is based on 30% of adjusted family income.  SHA continues to be designated as a "high achiever" by the U.S. Dept. of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) in its assessment and preservation of public housing operations.  View a brochure of SHA family public housing sites.   Or, view the specific property sites below for more information.

In September 2007, Salem Housing Authority established four service areas to better serve the housing needs of low-income families in the Salem-Keizer community. This action was taken due to changes in HUD regulations in administering Public Housing programs.  Find out more about Salem Housing Authority's new Service Area organization.
