About Palm Beach County Housing Authority
What is Palm Beach County Housing Authority?
The Palm Beach County Housing Authority (PBCHA) is a public housing provider serving Palm Beach County, Florida. Founded in 1969 as a special district of the state of Florida under Chapter 421 of the Florida Statutes, it delivers affordable housing to low-income families through two main programs: Housing Choice Vouchers (Section 8) and public housing.
Its stated mission is to be "a dedicated housing provider committed to championing trust, hope and growth for all people in Palm Beach County."
Where will I work?
Roles are on-site at the Authority's offices in West Palm Beach, Florida. Housing and tenant services are delivered in person, so this is an office/field-based employer rather than a remote one.
What is the team like?
A small public-sector team of roughly 35 staff spanning housing programs, resident services, finance, human resources and administration.
Work-Life Balance
PBCHA states on its employment page that "we proudly offer a 4-day work week". In practice this is a compressed schedule: the Authority's offices run Monday to Thursday, 7:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m., and are closed on Fridays — a full 40-hour week worked over four longer days. Employees on review sites confirm the arrangement, noting that being "off Friday's were the best" and describing it as a "compressed work week".
Perks and Benefits
- Compressed 4-day workweek — 40 hours over four days, Monday to Thursday, with offices closed Fridays.
- Health, dental and vision insurance.
- 401(k) retirement plan.
- Paid vacation and sick time.
- Required training and career-development programs.
How to Apply
The Authority does not always have open roles — its careers page currently states that "The PBCHA does not have any positions available at this time." When positions open, applications are submitted through the employment section of pbchafl.org.
