Board of Commissioners of the Alachua County Housing Authority is composed of five (5) Citizen members and two (2) Tenant members, all of whom have distinguished themselves as valuable community leaders. Their efforts as Commissioners have resulted in 30 years of positive and pro-active leadership and administration.
Commissioner’s responsibilities are the governance of the authority, the oversight responsibilities, fiduciary obligations and financial viability. Commissioners are charged with ensuring fairness in the administration of Housing Authority policies, attracting adequate resources, balancing the demands of conflicting community groups, and winning public support. Moreover, as they conduct the business of overseeing local public housing operations, Commissioners must be aware of and follow federal, state and local laws and housing regulations to the letter. The leadership and service of an involved and committed board of Commissioners are essential for meeting the housing needs of low-income citizens.
Commissioners should:
- Believe in the ability to transform communities and the people who live in them for the better.
- Understand that it is an evolving and ever-changing industry, subject to federal legislation, and community acceptance. Commissioners should keep abreast of the significant legislative and programmatic changes that occur in the field.
- Know that they are responsible for the proper administration of Housing Authorities and that, with the assistance and cooperation of the Executive Director, they must assure that an authority operates strictly within the parameters of the law.
- Be familiar with the financial transactions, contracts, and administrative procedures practiced by the Housing Authority and should work to assure that such activities are instituted and conducted to the highest possible standards.
