The Housing Authority consists of five electors, one appointed each year by the First Selectman for five year terms and until their successors are appointed and have taken office.

Having the powers and duties conferred or imposed by law on Housing Authorities, Westport's Housing Authority is responsible for the operation of public housing located within the Town. It is the body through which federal and state funds are channeled to provide publicly operated low and moderate income housing for the community.

All policies are set by the commissioners and an Executive Director is employed to carry out these policies, serving as functional head of the Authority and acting as liaison between the residents of the projects, the Department of Economic and Community Development of the State of Connecticut, and the Town government.
