About Us

The City of Norwich Housing Authority was formed in the 1960's. The first employee was hired in 1975. Norwich Housing now owns 102 public housing units and provides rental assistance for lower income families with the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Rental Assistance Program.

Peacock Park Manor has 62 units consisting of efficiency, one and two bedroom units for elderly, handicapped and disabled. Bordentown Circle has two and three bedroom townhouse style units for families.

Each year the combination of low wages, unemployment, rising housing costs and generational poverty affects numerous families in our community. It is the goal of the Housing Authority to assist as many families as we can while providing quality, affordable housing, empowerment and a sense of community to our tenants and clients.
