Housing Authority and HUD

Keeping Affordable Housing Bed Bug Free

A vital intent of the Office of Public Housing is to ensure safe, decent, and affordable housing to low-income families, the elderly, and persons with disabilities. These housing units provide opportunities for residents to be self-sufficient and have economic independence.

Housing Authority units come in various styles, sizes, and geographic locations. They have different floor plans, different architectural structures, and are located in different neighborhoods. One thing each housing unit has in common is that none are immune from bed bugs.

We can help ensure that the safety, decency, and affordability intent is kept intact by providing the equipment you need to eradicate bed bugs in HUD public housing. Please contact us today if you have been presented with an inspection report with results positive for bed bug infiltration.
