Peoria Housing Authority

The Peoria Housing Authority’s interim head and board chairman both sought to ease concerns surrounding the agency’s recent leadership transition that has included a criminal investigation.

Two key leadership positions at the Peoria Housing Authority are changing, amid the discovery of financial irregularities involving the authority’s funds.

Work is underway on the $18 million Churchview Garden Homes affordable housing development that will feature 47 units across seven new buildings on the South Side of Peoria.

Peoria City Manager Patrick Urich says the city wants to do what it can to alleviate concerns about lighting and safety at public housing locations and other residential developments.

First District city council member Denise Jackson wants city leaders to help persuade the Peoria Housing Authority to improve security and upgrade lighting in an effort to combat criminal activity.

The residents of a Peoria Housing Authority high-rise apartment building are getting new, safer burners for their stove tops at no cost.

The agency will use a $500,000 Choice Neighborhood Planning Grant from the U.S. Department Housing and Urban Development for a plan that will include building new, mixed-income housing in the area.

After years of development, the first families are settling into new units of subsidized housing at Peoria’s Providence Pointe.

When the wrecking ball is gone, the land will remain. The possibilities are generating a lot of conversation, or more specifically, roundtable discussions.

One of the Peoria Housing Authorities largest projects nears completion this month, but CEO Armeca Crawford is already preparing for the future of some of the organization’s other properties.
