Welcome to the Housing Authority of the City of Bloomington, Indiana
The mission of the Bloomington Housing Authority is to administer public funds using available resources in a manner which will allow the Housing Authority to offer a variety of affordable housing opportunities and supportive services that foster stability and self sufficiency through creative partnerships while servicing our customers with the highest level of professionalism and respect.
BHA owns and operates 310 units of rental housing and administers 1300 Housing Choice vouchers that allow income eligible families to rent in the private market.
The BHA was created in 1961 and the first development of affordable housing units were completed in 1968. In 2004 the BHA began a major transformation process to rehabilitate its affordable housing units, grounds and focus on quality of life issues, environmental updates, and create meaningful programs for children and adults. The overall appearance and functionality of the BHA properties should reflect an attractive and colorful community, rich in character as it is in diversity. Through our redevelopment efforts the BHA hopes to ultimately instill a sense of pride in every resident we serve.
