ABOUT

OVERVIEW

Welcome to the North Hempstead Housing Authority (NHHA) The North Hempstead Housing Authority (NHHA) is committed to providing safe, secure, and affordable housing for low- and moderate-income residents. Our communities offer comfortable living environments that foster stability and a strong sense of community. We manage two senior/disabled housing properties—Magnolia Gardens in Westbury, NY, and Manhasset Valley in Manhasset, NY—both of which have undergone significant upgrades over the past decade to enhance their quality and appeal. Additionally, in 2020, NHHA expanded its housing offerings with the opening of the brand new modern Grand Street Apartments in Westbury, adding 77 low-income tax credit units for seniors aged 62 and older, which has bought NHHA’s vision of upscale accommodations and affordability full circle.

Our Housing Programs

These communities provide 308 family units across multiple locations. (*Privately managed) Senior & Disabled Housing (Rental Assistance Demonstration – RAD Program) As of November 2016, Magnolia Gardens and Manhasset Valley transitioned from public housing to the Rental Assistance Demonstration (RAD) Program. Under RAD:

Residents contribute 30% of their gross income toward rent.
After one year of residency, tenants may be eligible to relocate with a rental assistance voucher, which can be used where vouchers are accepted.
A limited number of residents can apply annually for a RAD Housing Choice Voucher (HCV also known as Section 8).

Please note: NHHA is not currently accepting applications for the RAD program.

Section 8 & Family Self-Sufficiency Program

NHHA administers a Section 8 Program, providing 225 families with rental subsidies. Additionally, we offer a Family Self-Sufficiency Program, designed to help residents achieve financial independence.
