The Poarch Creek Indian Housing Department operates a low-income rental housing program and Tribally Assisted Home Ownership Program (TAHO). The home ownership programs were designed for Tribal Citizens who are within the low to medium income guidelines and who are able to make long-term financial commitments. The rental program has assisted 30 senior citizens and 76 single families since 1986. The Mutual Help program assisted 70 tribal families during the years of 1996 to 1999 before it ceased operation.

Applicants are required to make a contribution toward the project. Contributions can be land or down payments.
In accordance with the constitution, which was adopted on June 1,1985, the Poarch Creek Indians is governed by a nine member elected Tribal Council. A fulltime staff is employed to provide administrative support for the operation of the Tribal government and programs.
