Section 8 and public housing at The Housing Authority of the City of Sanford
The Housing Authority of the City of Sanford owns and manages public housing: apartments where rent is set at about 30% of your adjusted income. It does not administer Section 8 vouchers, so for a voucher in Sanford you need a nearby agency that does.
HUD designates it a Troubled Performer under the Public Housing Assessment System (PHAS), which brings HUD oversight and a recovery plan.
