A note from our Chairman of the Board

 

As the newly appointed President of the Board of Commissioners, it is with great pleasure that I continue the phenomenal work that the Commissioners have begun. It is an honor to support the development and improvement of our affordable housing programs. The Benton Harbor Housing Commission is working collaboratively to provide our residents excellent housing services, strengthen our community partnerships, and develop new partnerships. We, the Board of Directors, have committed to HUD, the Benton Harbor Housing Commission, and most importantly the residents, to continue striving for excellence daily. With great participation and enthusiasm, we have already begun seeing countless improvements and progress. Our continuous goal is to achieve the highest quality of housing for our residents and community, and to be the best public housing agency for the 21th Century.
