Mission and History

Welcome to the New Albany Housing Authority

The New Albany Housing Authority (NAHA) was established in March of 1937 and began providing affordable housing to the residents of New Albany in 1938.  Since the 1930's the New Albany Housing Authority has evolved to become much more in the lives of its residents than a provider of a roof and four walls. The Housing Authority provides opportunity for self-improvement and personal growth for young families, senior citizens and those eager to improve their career and life prospects.

• General Education Development (GED) training programs
• Home Ownership Program for Residents
• Family Self-Sufficiency Program Assistance
• Computer Lab Access
• Access to more than 40 Community Service Providers who provide services in partnership with NAHA
• Transportation Programs for Senior Residents to deliver Seniors to medical appointments, grocery, etc.
