Important Update on Rent Payments

Due to HUD funding limits and Small Area Fair Market Rent (SAFMR) requirements, payment standards may be adjusted in certain ZIP codes.

For landlords, this could mean the housing authority’s portion of rent may decrease, and some requested rent increases may not be approved if they exceed updated limits.

For participants, if the subsidy amount is reduced, the tenant portion of rent may increase.

We understand these changes can impact both property owners and families, and we remain committed to communicating clearly and supporting housing stability throughout this process.

We will post any important notices for the public on this page.  No current notices.  Check back later.

The Gastonia Housing Authority Board of Commissioners will be having a called meeting on Monday, September 23 at 3:00PM. 

The meeting will take place at 340 W Long Avenue and via Zoom.  To attend via Zoom, contact Gigi Campbell at g.n.campbell@ghanc.org or by calling 704-349-5098.
