Providing Decent, Safe and Affordable Housing

The Mohave County Housing Authority (MCHA) was created in 1990 by the Mohave County Board of Supervisors to provide various housing programs for low income families. MCHA works in partnership with the city governments in order to provide these services. These housing programs include Housing Choice Voucher (Section 8) Rental Assistance Programs and Supportive Housing Program (SHP) for the Seriously Mentally Ill. MCHA initially secured 50 certificates in 1990. MCHA currently assists approximately 556 individuals and families under the Housing Choice Voucher, Supportive Housing Program (SHP), Housing for Persons with HIV/AIDS (HOPWA) programs and HUD-VASH, Veteran's Affairs Supportive Housing. MCHA does not have any public housing units and all the programs administered by MCHA are voucher-based.
