RENT
All rents are due on the 1st day of each month. Residents have until the 5th day of the month to pay rent without a late fee. If the 5th falls on a Saturday, Sunday or holiday, residents will have until the next working day to pay without late fee. BHA accepts payments in the office each day Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The front office is closed on Wednesdays but there is a drop box provided outside for payments and any other documents may be placed.
CHANGES IN INCOME OR FAMILY COMPOSITION
Residents must report changes in income or family composition within ten (10) days of the event. BHA uses HUD’s web-based computer system called the Enterprise Income Verification (EIV) system that contains employment and income information of individuals that participate in HUD rental assistance programs.
REASONABLE ACCOMMODATIONS
The Brownsville Housing Authority does not discriminate based on disability in the admission to, access to, or operation of programs, services, or activities. Qualified residents who need accessible communication aids and services or other accommodations to participate in programs and activities are invited to make your needs and preferences known. It is the policy of BHA to make every effort possible to provide reasonable accommodations, financially, and administratively feasible. This includes any physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more life activities: or a record of having such an impairment or regarded as having such an impairment.

All residents are required to allow the exterminator to treat their unit. If you should need additional services for bugs please contact the BHA office at 731-772-0274 option 0.
