Lake Metropolitan Housing Authority
Lake Metropolitan Housing Authority operates a Public Housing program for the benefit of low-income families, senior citizens and disabled persons. Under the Public Housing Program, LMHA manages three developments: Jackson Towers, Washington Square and Woodlawn Homes, all located in Painesville, Ohio. Under Public Housing, LMHA serves as owner and landlord of the development, and charges a rent to the household based on the household income (approximately 30% of adjusted gross income). The Department of Housing and Urban Development provides subsidy to cover the difference between rents charged and the costs to operate the housing.
