Alachua County Housing Authority is a public housing agency serving Alachua County, Florida, providing rental subsidies and managing affordable public housing units for low income families, seniors, and persons with disabilities. It was founded in 1967 and operates as an independent legal entity created by state statute, with a board appointed by the Board of County Commissioners that oversees policy and fiduciary responsibilities. Its history includes building the first 200 public housing units in 1971, with the remaining units completed by 1985, and it began administering Section 8 vouchers in 1976. The authority is based in Gainesville at 703 Northeast 1st Street, inside the historic DaCosta House, which serves as its current office. In May 2024, it partnered with Ability Housing, Inc. to pursue affordable housing projects in the county.
