Homes for Good
The Housing and Community Services Agency of Lane County (HACSA) has helped connect people with “no and low” incomes to homes for nearly 70 years, since 1949. As our community has grown, so has the need for the services HACSA provides. Today, demand for services is higher than ever, and financial support for our work is severely challenged by changes in state and federal governmental funding. The move from HACSA to Homes for Good is about more than a transition – it is intended to represent a transformation. Homes for Good is Lane County’s housing agency. We connect residents with “no to low” incomes” to homes they can afford. This includes working with the federal government to provide rental assistance, developing and maintaining high-quality housing, and working with other agencies to address the chronic need for housing that is affordable.
