Rental Assistance Demonstration (RAD)
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) administers federal aid to residents of the City of Port Arthur through its housing agency known as The Housing Authority of the City of Port Arthur (PAHA). In this capacity, PAHA is the owner and manager of approximately 175 RAD housing units in Port Arthur. These units provide decent housing for low income families, the elderly and disabled individuals at rents they can afford. Tenants of RAD units pay 30% of their income toward their rent. Any additional costs are subsidized with federal funding. Through this program PAHA is currently assisting over 80 households who have an average monthly rent of about $458.
