Liberty Gardens Apartments: ~180 units for families, one- through four-bedroom units, including accessible units. 

Colonial I Apartments & Colonial II Apartments: High-rise communities dedicated to elderly/disabled. 

Housing Choice Voucher (Section 8) Program

RHA administers the Section 8/Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) program in the City of Rome. This program helps low‐income families rent decent, safe housing in the private market.

Resident Testimonials

I’ve lived here for 30 years, and it truly feels like home. I’ve made so many wonderful friends over the years, and the sense of community is something special. The staff and other residents are always friendly, and there’s such a welcoming atmosphere. Especially in the summer, it’s just a beautiful place to live.

I’ve lived here for many years and have made a lot of good friends. I’ve seen the building change from public housing to the renovated building it is now, and I’m really happy with how it turned out. I love my apartment, especially the view of the pond in the backyard. The activities they offer are fun, and it’s nice being able to walk to the bus. I’m very happy living here and wouldn’t want to live anywhere else.
