Bessemer Housing Authority

We are delighted that you have decided to visit with us. We appreciate your interest in our Community and the fine housing programs that we operate.
The Authority built its first homes in 1960 as a combination Urban Renewal & Public Housing Program. This allowed sub-standard housing to be torn down and replaced with block and brick homes. This action relieved the dense pack "shotgun" type that existed and provided safe and sanitary homes for those low income, working families in the Bessemer, Alabama area. These programs provided a home to live in until you saved sufficient funds to purchase a home on the private market. Today, we continue to provide housing to low income families through a variety of programs, and are proud to continue to work with the residents of this Community.
