Welcome to the Franklin Redevelopment and Housing Authority

Welcome to FRHA

The Franklin Redevelopment and Housing Authority (FRHA) was founded in 1963.  The original mission of the Authority was  to address the need for safe, decent affordable housing in Franklin and the surrounding area. 

Since our early days, we have worked with residents, community organizations and the City of Franklin to address housing issues around our county.

Today, we remain dedicated to our founding principles and strive to serve the housing needs of low income families, seniors and individuals with disabilities.  Our goal is to accomplish this in an environment that fosters self-sufficiency and community pride.

Public Housing Program

The FRHA currently manages 150 units of Public Housing over three sites. 

Berkley Court – A 75 unit family development on Cameron St. offering apartment homes ranging from 1 to 5 bedrooms.

Pretlow Gardens – A 40 unit family development on Pretlow St. offering one story apartments and two story townhomes from 1 to 3 bedrooms.

Old Town Terrace – A 35 unit family development on Bruce St. offering one story apartments and two story townhomes from 1 to 3 bedrooms.

Housing Choice Voucher Program

FRHA works with landlords and other property owners to administer Housing Choice Vouchers for up to 315 families.  Homes are privately owned and located in the Franklin and Southampton surrounding area(s).  FRHA provides partial rental assistance to tenants and regular Housing Quality Standards inspections.

Homeownership Program

Homeownership for low income families is an important concept in Franklin. FRHA was approved by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development for a homeownership program in early 2004.  In 2012, FRHA is working to reinvigorate its homeownership program and provide our residents with the opportunity to earn a home.

Our Public Housing, Housing Choice Voucher and Homeownership programs are only a part of what we do.  Our vision is to be a leader in providing housing service, homeownership, urban development and revitalizing communities.
