About Us
The Enfield Housing Authority (EHA) is among the original public housing authorities in the state having been organized in 1948. Early development was focused on building 174 moderate rental units. During the 1960's, 70's and early 80's, 240 apartments for the elderly were constructed. The EHA also pioneered the congregate housing model for the "frail elderly" by establishing 42 units in the early 1980's and later added 40 additional units in 1992. The EHA also administers 195 federal Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers (including VASH and Mainstream vouchers).
Over the past decade, the EHA staff and commissioners have worked diligently to meet the housing needs of the community and have strived to be the local leader in affordable housing by developing and managing programs while forging partnerships that result in high performing, sustainable and fiscally responsible housing.
Message from the CEO
Dear Community Members,
At the Enfield Housing Authority, our mission is rooted in a simple but powerful belief: everyone deserves a safe, stable, and affordable place to call home. As CEO, I am proud to lead an organization that is deeply committed to building not just housing, but community.
We understand that housing is more than just shelter, it’s the foundation for opportunity, dignity, and well-being. That’s why we work tirelessly to ensure our properties are safe, well-maintained, and accessible to all. We are investing in innovative solutions, strengthening partnerships, and listening to the voices of our residents to shape a future where housing is a source of pride and possibility.
Together, we are creating neighborhoods where families can thrive, seniors can age with dignity, and individuals can pursue their goals with confidence. Thank you for being part of this journey. Your trust and collaboration inspire us every day.
With gratitude,
Shari Riddick
