The Housing Authority of the City of Augusta, Georgia (AHA) is committed to
helping the residents of its communities achieve their goals of self-sufficiency
by providing opportunities for training and employment. AHA provides employment
opportunities on construction projects by encouraging its contractor to hire
qualified residents of AHA communities, connecting residents to job training and
placement activities, and providing program coordination that facilitates
economic opportunities for residents. AHA also provides employment opportunities
by hiring qualified residents of AHA communities for available AHA positions.
Section 3 of the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1968, as amended by the
Housing and Community Development Act of 1994, requires that, to the greatest
extent feasible, employment and other economic opportunities generated by HUD
funds be directed to low- and very low-income residents. To this end, AHA will
implement efforts to have a ready pool of public housing residents to fill the
positions offered by the AHA, its contractors, or subcontractors.
To accomplish this goal, the AHA is conducting a Resident Survey and
Registration. AHA encourages any residents seeking employment to complete this
survey on-line.
