About the Agency
The
Housing Authority of the County of Santa Clara was established in 1967 by the
Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors to administer a federal rent subsidy
program authorized under the United States Housing Act of 1937.
The Housing
Authority's mission is to improve the lives of low-income families, persons with
disabilities and seniors in Santa Clara County by providing affordable,
high-quality housing. For an overview of the programs administered by the
Housing Authority, please go to

one from each of the five supervisorial districts and two tenants of the Housing

four-year term except the resident commissioners, who are appointed for two-year
terms.
