Housing Authority of Paducah

What Housing Authority of Paducah does

The Housing Authority of Paducah (HAP) is a public housing authority operating under U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) oversight, serving low and moderate income families in Paducah, Kentucky and McCracken County. Founded in 1938 (with company history materials citing 1945), the agency has administered federal housing programs for over 80 years. It operates two core program lines: Public Housing, comprising four properties (Anderson Court & HC Mathis, Ella Munal/Dolly McNutt/Blackburn, Elmwood Court, and Pierce Lackey), and the Housing Choice Voucher (Section 8) program enabling eligible households to lease private-market units with federal rental assistance. Resident services include partnerships with local agencies to deliver daycare, adult literacy, and After School Programs at no or low cost.

HAP's technology footprint is a standard RentCafe PHA web-based housing management platform supporting 24/7 online applications, supplementing paper applications accepted at property offices on Tuesdays. Rent is calculated as a percentage of resident income, with income limits ranging from $50,550 (one-person household) to $95,250 (eight-person household). The agency is headquartered at 2330 Ohio St, Paducah, with four neighborhood property management offices. Cal Ross serves as President. The agency is WCAG 2.1 AA and ADA compliant on its digital properties and participates in E-Verify.

HAP does not operate as a commercial enterprise. Its funding derives from federal HUD appropriations and tenant rental income calculated on an income-based formula, with no equity, debt, or venture financing. GTM is effectively waitlist-based intake for public housing and demand-side voucher coordination with private landlords; revenue, unit counts, and budget figures are not publicly disclosed. Given its public-sector, mission-driven structure, conventional PE/VC/M&A growth metrics do not apply.
