Who runs the PHA?
The governing body of a PHA is the Board of Commissioners. The Board of Commissioners functions similarly to the Board of Directors of a private corporation. The main role of the PHA Board is to establish policy for the PHA (e.g., personnel policies, rent collection policies, dwelling lease provisions, grievance procedures, etc.)

Board members are appointed by the local government official (e.g., mayor, county commissioners, etc.), and serve as non-salaried public officials.

The Board also selects and employs an Executive Director for the PHA. The PHA Executive Director is responsible for carrying out Board policies and for the efficient day-to-day operation of the PHA. This includes hiring and supervising any additional PHA staff required to fulfill the PHA's responsibilities.
