On behalf of our Board of Commissioners and all our staff, I welcome you to our website and trust that you will find information that is useful to you. Whether you are seeking housing or just information about what the Pawtucket Housing Authority does, you’ll find information about our housing, the quality of life in our community, and the passion that our employees have for our mission.

The City of Pawtucket, Rhode Island is vibrant community and we own six residential developments in the City, with more than approximately 800 residential apartments and approximately 800 Housing Choice Vouchers (HCV). We continue to provide not only a great place for you to call home, but an inviting place to work and do business in Rhode Island’s 4th largest City.

When you look at the details, you will see that we are efficient in our goals: providing safe homes and building communities; providing good options for the kind of apartment or house residents can call home; caring for and developing neighborhoods that have community centers, parks, gardens, local activities, and attractive buildings.
