Home

Residents of the Housing Authority of Paducah elect representatives from each neighborhood to serve on an advisory council. The Council offers a place for residents to voice their concerns and solve problems. The Council also represents the residents to the management of the Housing Authority and its Board of Commissioners.

Elections to the Council take place each spring and the representatives serve staggered two year-terms. All residents are notified by mail of the nomination and election process for neighborhood representatives.

Some of the activities of the Resident Council are:

§ Organization of a coalition of public housing resident councils from throughout Western Kentucky. The Paducah RAC organized the first meeting of the West Kentucky Regional Coalition and remains a leader in the group. The Coalition’s objective is to help RACs come together for mutual problem solving.

§ Offer financial support to youth and elderly services at the Housing Authority. The RAC receives an allocation of funds each year from HUD. The RAC shares those resources with youth programs and elderly services, providing funds for the activities these departments undertake.

§ Sponsors fund raising events to generate resources for additional programming. The next event is scheduled for October 2005 – a yard sale and family fun day Blackburn Park.
