The Jonesboro Housing Authority (JHA) would like to welcome you to our Housing Authority. JHA has in person briefings, when JHA receives your paperwork, we will reach out to you to schedule an appointment for a briefing. Briefings occur on Tuesdays, please give JHA time to process your paperwork before calling to inquire on your port paperwork. Please Make sure you watch the video below and go through all the steps listed below and fill out the forms. You may drop them off in our drop box in front of our building or preferably E-mail them to portability@jonesborohousing.com. Your Application and ALL Requested forms MUST be submitted or received one (1) week prior to your scheduled briefing date!
