About CMHA

Columbiana Metro Housing Authority (CMHA) promotes the overall goal of drug-free, healthy, safe, affordable, decent, and sanitary housing in good neighborhoods.

A major goal is to provide a product that is comparable to private non-assisted rental housing in terms of amenities and services. CMHA strives to change the negative image of public housing by being creative in our thinking, promoting the positive aspects of public housing, involving residents in decisions that affect them, using innovative designs to change the traditional face of public housing, and implementing various programs that enable families to progress on the road to self-sufficiency.

If you have a family, you know how exciting a new job can be. A steady income means shoes for the kids, maybe a car - and often a new place to live. But if your paycheck is stretched to the limit, then subsidized housing may be perfect for you. CMHA offers attractive, affordable housing for low - and moderate-income families who are just starting out.

With CMHA, you pay only 30% of your monthly income for an apartment that's spacious enough for the whole family. And, unlike most market-rate or even Section 8 housing, your low monthly rent payment may include: appliances (range and refrigerator) laundry facilities (washer and dryer hookups, or on-site coin-operated laundries), regular and emergency maintenance and some utilities.

CMHA also means community. It means connecting residents with various medical, social, educational, and recreational programs and services. Thanks to active resident organizations, many neighborhoods have great on-site programs such as:

• Year-Round Children's Programs
• Mini-Libraries with Computers
• Playgrounds
• Health Clinics
• Resident Leadership Opportunities
