The Public Housing program provides affordable housing to low-income individuals, families, elderly, and persons with disabilities. PBCHA owns and manages four public housing communities in West Palm Beach and Lantana, as well as fourty three single family homes throughout Boynton Beach. 

PBCHA is able to provide safe and decent housing to residents, at a rent amount they can afford, through Federal susidy provided by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).

When does PBCHA open the public housing waiting lists, and how do I find out about it?

Public housing waiting lists are open on an as needed basis. In many instances, only a particular waiting list for a specific bedroom size, and for a specific public houisng site will open. PBCHA advertises the opening of public housing waiting lists on this website, and the Palm Beach Post.  Currently, PBCHA does not have any waitlists open.  To view the status of public housing waiting lists, visit Apply For Housing. 

Currently on a Waiting List?

Applicants active on the waiting list must inform PBCHA of any changes to the application within 10 business days of the change. To report changes, complete the Waiting List Update Form, and submit with a legible copy of your photo ID. Failure to keep information updated could result in the removal of the application from the waiting list. Only the Head-of-Household can make changes to the application.
