About Us

The Mobile Housing Authority (MHA) formerly known as the Mobile Housing Board, was established in 1937 to provide federally funded public housing programs and related services to Mobile’s low-income residents. MHA is the second largest public housing authority in Alabama with more than 85 employees. Currently, MHA owns and manages 2,665 public housing units in 11 developments. MHA serves 5,276 households through public housing and the Housing Choice Voucher Program.

The Mobile Housing Authority has a five-member Board of Commissioners, which is appointed by the Mayor of the City of Mobile. The Board is comprised of active business and community leaders who have a commitment to quality affordable housing for low income families. Board members, who serve five-year terms, are responsible for setting the policy or overall direction of Mobile Housing Authority. The Board appoints the Chief Executive Officer, who serves as Secretary of the Board and is charged with the day-to-day administration of the programs of the agency.
