A Message from the Executive Director

On behalf of the MRHAV staff, our Board of Commissioners, and myself, thank you for your interest in our organization and for visiting our Website. Our goal is to provide safe, decent, and affordable housing. We consider this a basic human right. I am very proud of the work my professional staff does each day.

My staff administers, maintains, and manages the Housing Choice Voucher Program, Public Housing, Congregate Housing, and Project-Based Vouchers, among other responsibilities. Staff at MRHAV are continuously trained to provide the best service and knowledge available to the public. It is an absolute honor to lead and serve as the Executive Director of MRHAV. I am humbled by my staff's continued support of my vision of providing decent, safe, affordable housing and financial assistance to families needing housing.
