Program Overview
The Housing Authority of Maricopa County (HAMC) owns and manages 790 units in 16
communities throughout Maricopa County. These properties are generally located in
the smaller cities and unincorporated areas of the County. Most of the larger cities
in the Metropolitan Phoenix area have their own Housing Agencies that serve the
populations of each city. For a map showing the location of Public Housing properties
managed by HAMC click here.
Because of the size of the Phoenix Metropolitan area, HAMC has divided its operation
into four separate areas, each with its own waiting list and
area office.
Public Housing is a program funded by The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development
(HUD) for low-income residents. Annual gross income must be within limits as established
by HUD, and eligible families pay a monthly rent equal to the greater of 30% of
their monthly adjusted income or 10% of unadjusted monthly income. Applicants may
qualify as a family and/or as an eligible single person.

Eligibility
HAMC screens applicants to determine they meet the federally mandated qualifications
for the Public Housing Program. This includes verification of eligibility and income
information provided on the application form. Income limits for program eligibility
are adjusted according to family size and deductible allowances specified in federal
legislation.
Applicants are also screened for criminal and drug related activities. It is
the goal of the HAMC to provide a safe, comfortable and drug-free environment for
our residents.
The Housing Authority of Maricopa County does not discriminate on the basis
of Race, Color, Religion, Sex, Disability, Family Status or National Origin. The
Housing Authority of Maricopa County is an Equal Housing Opportunity provider.
