ABOUT GBHA
The Great Bend Housing Authority (GBHA) provides affordable housing through two different programs. The first program is a Section 8 project-based low-income housing program providing affordable housing at the High Rise, located at 1101 Kansas Avenue in downtown Great Bend. The second program is the Section 8 tenant-based housing assistance program for low-income individuals to apply for assistance for privately owned housing with other landlords in the Great Bend community. Both programs are funded by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). GBHA is operated by a team of friendly professionals who work full-time at the High Rise in downtown Great Bend. The staff is overseen by a volunteer Board of Commissioners, who are appointed by the Mayor and City Council for the City of Great Bend.
