About Roseville Housing Authority
Since 1974, the
Roseville Housing Authority (RHA) has been responsible for administering the
Housing Choice Voucher Program, which provides rental assistance for low-income residents to access quality, affordable, and safe housing.
RHA ensures housing stability and economic self-sufficiency for up to 785 families, seniors, disabled persons, and veterans annually.
Rental assistance for income-qualified participants is paid directly to property owners who participate in the voucher program.
The Housing Authority receives funding from the Federal Department of Housing and Urban Development.
Roseville’s voucher program infuses over $6.5 million of federal funds into the local economy each year, including administration revenue, which covers most of the staff costs to administer the program.
