About Us

Established in 1950, the LaFollette Housing Authority (LHA) has been dedicated to strengthening the communities it serves by providing safe, quality, and affordable housing opportunities for eligible individuals and families. What began with Public Housing has expanded to include the Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) Program, formerly known as Section 8, allowing LHA to meet the evolving housing needs of the community. LHA currently manages 1,116 Public Housing units and administers 328 HCVs throughout East Tennessee. Guided by a 12-member Board of Commissioners appointed by the Mayor of each town represented by the Authority, LHA remains committed to serving the community with integrity, respect, and excellence.
