The Section 8 Program The Section 8 program, which provides rental assistance, was introduced under the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974. It was a re-codification of the U.S. Housing Act of 1937. Over time, the Act has been amended to meet the requirements of the Section 8 Tenant-Based Assistance Program. At the Brunswick Housing Authority, these changes are implemented through the Administration Plan. Funding and Administration The Section 8 rental assistance programs are funded by the federal government and administered by the Brunswick Housing Authority's Section 8 staff. The administration of the program and the responsibilities of the Brunswick Housing Authority are conducted in accordance with the Brunswick Housing Authority Personnel Policy, the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Section 8 regulations, as well as all relevant federal, state, and local Fair Housing laws and regulations. Local Unit Communities The Brunswick Housing Authority owns and manages two unit communities - Brooklyn Homes Annex and Hopkins Homes Annex. These communities offer one, two, and three-bedroom units to eligible individuals and families.
