About Us

Congress enacted the U.S. Housing Act of 1937 which established the Public Housing program.

The goal of this program has always been to provide decent, safe, and sanitary housing for low-income families.

As a result, Public Housing Agencies (PHAs) were established to develop, own and manage low-income housing.

The Housing Authority of McDonough County (HAMC) was established in 1941.

The HAMC manages two properties in Macomb and two properties in Bushnell, and the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program throughout McDonough County.
