2. What does the Lafayette Housing Authority do?

We provide rental assistance to low income families who qualify for our program. Initially, we make sure that families who apply for rental assistance meet the HUD eligibility criteria. This includes meeting income limits and program requirements. For as long as the family receives rental assistance, the Lafayette Housing Authority monitors their compliance with program requirements.
