Core offering

Tallahassee Housing Authority administers HUD-funded affordable housing programs for low-to-moderate income households in Tallahassee and Leon County, Florida. Its core offerings are the Housing Choice Voucher (HCV/Section 8) tenant-based rental assistance program, project-based Public Housing units owned and operated by THA, and the Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS) supportive services program that helps residents achieve economic independence. The authority also undertakes large-scale redevelopment of its housing stock, including the multi-phase Columbia Gardens at South City project replacing the former Orange Avenue Apartments.

Product overview

Tallahassee Housing Authority operates as a single-platform housing authority offering three interconnected programs: Housing Choice Voucher (HCV/Section 8) rental assistance, Public Housing (directly-owned affordable rental units), and the Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS) supportive services program. The Public Housing portfolio includes three properties (Columbia Gardens, Pinewood Place, and Springfield Apartments) serving different school districts across Tallahassee. THA is also undertaking major redevelopment projects including Columbia Gardens at South City (Phases 1, 2, and planned Phase 3 senior facility) replacing the former Orange Avenue Apartments, and the Springfield Apartments master plan redevelopment. All programs are funded by HUD and coordinated through the main office at 2940 Grady Road.
