Scale indicators5 records

Recent moves9 records

Expansion highlights2 records

Broad incumbents

• Boston Housing Authority: Larger PHA operating thousands of public housing units across multiple developments and administering a substantial HCV program. Comparable in mission and federal funding model but materially larger in scale; useful benchmark for operational best practices.
• Rhode Island Housing (RI Housing): Statewide housing finance agency that administers federal housing programs across Rhode Island, including mortgage finance, multifamily development, and tenant-based rental assistance. Comparable as a public-sector housing entity operating under similar federal frameworks, but at a much larger statewide scale.

Others

• U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD): Federal agency that funds and regulates public housing authorities through Operating Fund subsidies, Capital Fund awards, and Section 8 voucher allocations. Not a peer but the principal funder/regulator that defines WWHA's operating model and funding structure.
• National Association of Housing and Redevelopment Officials (NAHRO): National membership and advocacy organization representing housing authorities and redevelopment agencies. Indirect peer as the sector's representative body, providing peer benchmarking, training, and federal advocacy for PHAs like WWHA.

Direct peers

• Cambridge Housing Authority: Mid-sized Massachusetts PHA operating elderly/disabled and family public housing with mixed-income and supportive-service components. Comparable in focus on elderly/disabled housing and provision of on-site services.
• Warwick Housing Authority: Adjacent-municipality Rhode Island PHA providing public housing and Section 8 services in Warwick. Comparable in scale, program mix, and target population; useful benchmark for peer comparison given geographic proximity.
• Cranston Housing Authority: Rhode Island PHA serving Cranston with public housing units and Section 8 voucher administration. Comparable in size, target population, and reliance on HUD operating subsidies.
• Woonsocket Housing Authority: Rhode Island PHA serving another small city, operating public housing units and administering Section 8 vouchers. Comparable in scale and program structure as a fellow small-to-mid-sized municipal housing authority.
• Providence Housing Authority: Largest public housing authority in Rhode Island, operating thousands of public housing units and administering HCV/Section 8 vouchers in Providence. Directly comparable as a fellow Rhode Island PHA receiving HUD operating subsidies and administering the same federal programs.
• Pawtucket Housing Authority: Nearby Rhode Island PHA operating public housing units and Section 8 voucher program in Pawtucket. Comparable in mission and program mix (public housing + HCV administration) and subject to the same Rhode Island regulatory environment.
