Resident Services
The Lancaster City Housing Authority (LCHA) is fully committed to offering our residents support as they seek increased economic independence, improved mental and physical health and an overall better quality of life. We do this by providing direct services, engaging in grant funded initiatives and through collaboration with organizations in our community.
