The primary function of the Town of East Haven Housing Authority is to assist low-income Section 8 tenants with housing and landlord problems. The Section 8 list is indefinitely closed to new applicants. (Section 8 is an income-based federal housing-subsidy program.) The authority also acts like a real-estate agency by helping people of all income levels find apartments in town. Director Megan McAullife and a part-time secretary run the office.
