The Board of Commissioners serves as the governing body with several critical functions:
Policy Direction

They establish and approve major policies that guide the Housing Authority’s operations, from tenant selection criteria to development strategies. They ensure these policies align with federal, state, and local regulations while meeting community needs.

 Commissioners review and approve budgets, major contracts, and expenditures. They monitor financial performance, ensure proper use of public funds, and maintain the agency’s fiscal health through sound decision-making.

The Board hires and evaluates the Executive Director/CEO, who manages daily operations. They work collaboratively with executive leadership to set organizational goals and strategic direction.

They monitor the performance of housing programs, including public housing operations, Section 8 voucher administration, and development projects. This includes ensuring quality maintenance, fair tenant policies, and effective program administration.

Commissioners act as a bridge between the Housing Authority and the community, representing resident interests and ensuring the agency’s actions align with community needs. They often participate in public meetings and engage with stakeholders.

The Board ensures the Housing Authority complies with HUD regulations, fair housing laws, and other applicable requirements while maintaining ethical standards and transparency in operations.
