About Us

The Selma Housing Authorities (SHA) manage affordable housing units in Selma Alabama, offering low-income families and individuals the opportunity to rent an affordable residence that is decent and sanitary.

Since the establishment of the Selma Housing Authority we have offered subsidized, income-based housing and homeownership opportunities for qualified low-income families, the elderly, and persons with disabilities in Selma Alabama.

The Selma Housing Authority manages several housing programs including Public Housing, Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers, both funded by the federal Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Working with our Community Partners, Resident Council & Resident Advisory Board, we offer supportive services programs to educate & enhance the life of our Residents. Our goal is to assist each Resident to work toward sustainability.

Affordable housing in Selma and elsewhere means wither rental or owner-occupied housing that costs at or less than 30% of one’s gross income. Subsidized housing means a residence that the government assists in paying for. It can either be all or a portion of the monthly payment, depending on the person’s income.

Application
