Location
Located in southeast Alabama on beautiful Lake Eufaula, the Eufaula Housing Authority administers 377 units of Public Housing and 388 Section 8 vouchers. Eufaula is located on the Alabama/Georgia border approximately halfway between Dothan, Alabama and Columbus, Georgia and 75 miles southeast of Montgomery, AL. Click here to see where we are.

The Eufaula Housing Authority is a federally funded, state chartered agency that is neither a federal, state, or local government agency but rather considered to be a quasi-governmental agency. We answer to the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and are bound by regulations as set forth in Title 24 of the Code of Federal Regulations.

How Does EHA Grade?
In 1990, HUD implemented the Public Housing Assessment System to grade Housing Authorities to determine their effectiveness in the areas of management, resident service, maintenance and financial accountability. We are proud to report that the Eufaula Housing Authority has always scored well and been considered both a High and Standard Performer.

EHA Receives Rare Award
Eufaula Pride, a local agency given the task of keeping Eufaula beautiful, awarded the Eufaula Housing Authority the 1999 Beautification Award for the entire city. It is extremely rare for a housing authority to receive such an award. We feel this is a tribute to a tremendous maintenance staff who take pride in their work and to our residents that take good care of their apartments. We congratulate our residents and award winning maintenance department on winning this award!

Board of Commissioners
The five member Board of Commissioners are appointed by the Mayor of the City of Eufaula and have the task of setting policy and provide guidance to the Executive Director. The Board members are Tommy Lewis-Chairman, Hugh Sparks-Vice-Chairman, Mo Erkins, Larry Thomas, and Patricia Lockett.
