Minneapolis Public Housing Authority Board of Commissioners
Minneapolis Public Housing Authority (MPHA) was created by ordinance 86-Or-034 on 2/28/1986. The Minneapolis Public Housing Authority in and for the City of Minneapolis (MPHA) is an independent Agency charged with the responsibility to manage federally subsidized housing for eligible low income families, elderly, and disabled tenants. MPHA owns and manages over 5,000 apartments in 42 high-rise properties and over 700 single family homes in every Minneapolis neighborhood in addition to the nation’s first assisted living / memory care facility for low income tenants and a senior Health & Wellness Center in Heritage Park. MPHA also operates the federally subsidized Housing Choice Voucher / Section 8 Program for over 5,000 eligible participants in the City of Minneapolis.
The MPHA Board of Commissioners is the governing body of the Agency. Its members are appointed by the Mayor and the City Council to provide oversight of the Agency, establish operating policy for the Agency, and ensure operating compliance with U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development regulations. Members of the Board must live or work in the City of Minneapolis. MPHA has a diverse board with varied backgrounds, including residents. We are currently seeking applicants who have highly developed skills and extensive experience in the area of finance, general business, and the development of affordable housing or mixed income/mixed use properties.
