Portland Housing Authority

Together with its community partners, Portland Housing Authority provides and expands affordable housing and services that improve quality of life, build community, enhance safety and promote personal success for the people we serve and the neighborhoods in which they reside.

Portland Housing Authority (PHA) administers HUD Public Housing and Section 8 Housing Programs in the City of Portland, Maine. Though housing is our primary mission, PHA also offers a variety of resident services with one component being the operation of our after school Study Centers.

The Study Centers are open for homework help from September to June when they transition to summer programming. The centers act as communal focal points for educational assistance for residents of all ages, resource centers for exploring post-secondary opportunities, a place for youth leadership development and community service.

The Centers are located as follows:

• Kennedy Park Study Center - 51 Mayo Street
• Riverton Park Study Center - 61 Riverton Drive
• Sagamore Village Study Center - 21 Popham Street
