MCKEAN COUNTY HOUSING & REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY

What MCKEAN COUNTY HOUSING & REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY does

The McKean County Redevelopment & Housing Authority (MCRHA) is a Pennsylvania government municipal corporation established in 1971 under the U.S. Housing Act of 1937 to administer federal affordable housing programs in McKean County. Effective January 1, 2014, MCRHA consolidated with the former City of Bradford Housing Authority to form a single county-wide authority. The organization is led by Executive Director Jeff Rieck and operates with approximately 33 employees across site management, facility services, housing choice voucher, and redevelopment departments. Its statutory role is to serve as the local conduit for U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) programs rather than to compete in a commercial market.

MCRHA's portfolio comprises roughly 344 public housing units, 468 Housing Choice Vouchers funding assistance on 550+ privately-owned units, and 72 Project-Based Voucher units converted under HUD's Rental Assistance Demonstration (RAD) program. The physical estate spans elderly high-rise housing (notably Central Towers, an 84-unit, 6-story building in Kane developed in 1978), family developments across Smethport, Port Allegany, Eldred, Bradford, Kane, Mt. Jewett, and Lewis Run, and accessible units such as Smethport Commons. Wholly-owned non-profit subsidiary A Partnership in Housing, Inc., established in 1997, holds additional units. Service delivery occurs through administrative offices in Smethport (headquarters at 415 West Main Street), Bradford (11 Campus Drive), and Kane (130 Greeves Street), supplemented by tenant and HCV participant web portals.

The revenue model is programmatic and federally funded. MCRHA receives HUD operating subsidies for public housing, Housing Assistance Payments (HAP) for the voucher program, PBV/RAD contract funding, and Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) allocations administered through its Redevelopment Authority arm. Tenant contributions are income-based at roughly 30% of adjusted household income and are immaterial relative to federal flows. The Redevelopment Authority layer adds blight remediation, ADA improvements, infrastructure projects, and an Economic Loan Fund. Marketing and distribution run through the government website (mckeancountyhousing.com), social media (Facebook, Twitter/X, Instagram), public notices, and direct landlord engagement for the HCV program — no commercial sales motion applies given the public-sector mandate.
