About Public Housing
Public housing is funded by the federal government and administered by the Marin Housing Authority for the jurisdiction of County of Marin, California.
PHAs are governed by a board of officials that are generally called "commissioners." Although some PHAs may use a different title for their officials, this document will hitherto refer to the "board of commissioners" or the "board" when discussing the board of governing officials.
Commissioners are appointed in accordance with state housing law and generally serve in the same capacity as the directors of a corporation. The board of commissioners establishes policies under which MHA conducts business, and ensures that those policies are followed by PHA staff. The board is responsible for preserving and expanding the agency's resources and assuring the agency's continued viability and success.
Formal actions of MHA are taken through written resolutions, adopted by the board and entered into the official records of MHA.
The principal staff member of MHA is the executive director (ED), who is selected and hired by the board. The ED oversees the day to day operations of MHA and is directly responsible for carrying out the policies established by the commissioners. The ED's duties include hiring, training, and supervising MHA's staff, as well as budgeting and financial planning for the agency.
Additionally, the ED is charged with ensuring compliance with federal and state laws, and program mandates. In some PHAs, the ED is known by another title, such as chief executive officer or president.
