Renovations Update: The Housing Authority has no new updates this month. We will keep you informed of any changes. Thanks, Ken Vaughan

Late Fee Update: The Jefferson County Housing and Development Board has created a new lease. All residents will be scheduled to sign the new lease as time allows.

One of the changes is the rate of the late fee for rent payments. Effective January 1, 2018 there will be a $25.00 late charge for rent paid after the 10th. If rent is paid on or after the 25th there will be an additional $50.00 charge for a total of $75.00.
