Jackson Housing Commission

The Jackson Housing Commission provides affordable public housing and Housing Choice Vouchers for low- and moderate-income individuals, families, seniors and people with disabilities. It was created by a City of Jackson ordinance in 1946 and operates 540 public housing units across three sites in the City of Jackson, along with 475 vouchers that let Section 8 participants rent in the private market.

The commission serves more than 1,000 families and also works with partner agencies to help residents move toward self-sufficiency. Its administrative offices are at 301 Steward Ave. in Jackson, and residents affected by the recent Reed Manor fire can find updates on its website.
