Lexington Housing Authority

Public housing management and affordable housing opportunities are the core services of the Lexington-Fayette Urban County Housing Authority. The agency manages 880 public housing units, 600 mixed-finance units, and more than 3,600 Section 8 vouchers. It also offers homeownership opportunities, including homes for qualified first-time buyers who meet income requirements and complete homebuyer education classes. Programs support individuals and families in need, while landlord initiatives include incentives for new landlords and units, plus security deposit assistance for eligible clients. The authority also shares community resource information and supports housing stability for young adults leaving foster care through HUD's Foster Youth to Independence program. Board meetings are held monthly by Zoom. Services are provided in Lexington-Fayette.
