North Coast Housing Connections

In 2021, Parma Public Housing Agency (PPHA) sold its only public housing property, leaving the agency with only a Housing Choice Voucher Program. Because the agency serves all of Cuyahoga County and not just Parma, the name was changed to better reflect its mission.

North Coast Housing Connections (NCHC) is a federally funded rental assistance program for low- to moderate-income families. NCHC administers 802 Housing Choice (Section 8) Vouchers throughout Cuyahoga County. The agency provides  applicants and participants access to excellent affordable housing and offers a path to self-sufficiency through its voluntary Family Self-Sufficiency Program. Its board of commissioners includes the mayor, city council, city auditor, city treasurer and law director.

Note: Although the organization will legally remain Parma Public Housing Agency, it is registered to do business as North Coast Housing Connections.
