The Housing Authority of the Birmingham District (sometimes called the Birmingham Housing Authority) is the public agency responsible for administering Birmingham's public housing projects as well as Section 8 vouchers for low-income renters in the city. The authority's headquarters office is located at 1826 3rd Avenue South. Its executive director is Naomi Truman.

In February 2014, shortly after the board voted to fire Truman, Birmingham mayor William Bell appointed Cardell Davis to take the seat on the board occupied by chairman Charles Townsend. With Truman's firing held up by judicial order, the change gave her supporters the three votes necessary to rescind the dismissal.
