The St. Louis Housing Authority is committed to providing diverse housing opportunities and to enhancing the quality of life of the families we serve.
We are a community full of hope, dreams and ambition. For more than 80 years, SLHA has helped St. Louisans with access to affordable housing and social services, becoming a close-knit community dedicated to helping each other. With more than 20,000 residents, over 100 staff, hundreds of partners and volunteers, we are one big family.
WE ARE SLHA
Through a dedicated team of over 100 employees, SLHA provides housing assistance to individuals and families through two major housing programs: Public Housing and Housing Choice Voucher. We serve over 20,000 residents and participants, and effectively partner with nonprofit organizations, property owners, developers, contractors, elected officials and vendors to administer our programs. SLHA has an annual operating budget of approximately $85 million and is funded primarily by federal sources from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
