About Us

Our Mission & Vision

Cullman Housing Authority’s mission is to provide quality, affordable housing and to partner with residents to build strong communities. We believe a home is more than bricks and mortar – it’s the foundation for stability, opportunity, and hope. CHA unites housing, people, and services to empower our residents and revitalize our neighborhoods . We work every day to ensure that every person – regardless of income, age, or ability – has a safe place to call home and a chance to thrive.
Founded in 1949, CHA has served the City of Cullman and Cullman County for over seven decades . We were chartered as a public agency to administer federal housing programs locally, yet we are not a city or county department. Instead, we operate independently under a Board of Commissioners appointed by the Mayor of Cullman. This structure allows us to focus on housing needs with dedicated oversight and without burdening local taxpayers .

Over the years, Cullman Housing Authority has grown and adapted to meet our community’s needs. We currently own and manage 326 public housing units across several developments in Cullman . These range from single-family houses to apartment communities for families and seniors. We maintain our properties to high standards and continuously invest in improvements – as evidenced by over $12.5 million in capital improvements made in recent years to modernize and upgrade our housing stock.

In addition to public housing, CHA administers the Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) Program (Section 8) for Cullman County. With HCVs, we assist eligible families in renting from private landlords by subsidizing a portion of their rent. This program expands affordable housing choice and currently helps hundreds of local households live in quality homes in the private market. We partner with numerous landlords who share our commitment to providing safe, decent housing for low-income families.

Working Together to Build Stronger Communities

Together, our Board of Commissioners, Executive Director, and Staff are working to strengthen the organization and improve the quality of life for those we serve. We value transparency and invite the community’s input as we pursue our vision of “Building strong communities one family, one home at a time.”
