Welcome to the Housing Authority of the City of Bloomington.  This website will introduce you to the Housing Authority and the services we provide families and individuals throughout our community.   The Bloomington Housing Authority (BHA) was established in 1947 with the mission to provide low income families decent, safe, sanitary housing and to empower them to build self-sufficiency and pride.  Today, the Bloomington Housing Authority provides affordable housing to approximately 600 households in public housing and more than 650 households under the Housing Choice Voucher Program (Section 8).   Our 2018 BHA Annual Report provides an overview of these programs as well as financial data and program statistics.  Our recently adopted 2020 5-Year and Annual PHA Plan establishes Goals & Objectives for the future of the agency.  You can also learn more reading our most recent 2022 Annual PHA Plan.

We invite you to explore our website and learn about the opportunities for affordable housing in our community.  We look forward to serving you!
