Administrator Welcome

The Housing Authority has undergone tremendous change over the past 24 months. Change at the national level resulting in wide spread reinvention of HUD programs, systems and responsibilities bringing great impact on public housing authorities as well as local change from the realignment of the SHA within the new Housing and Social Service (HSS) Division under the City of Salem's Urban Development Department.  The local change created the integration of the housing authority, the federal housing program functions and the social service funding activities for the City.  This melding of different functions previously unconnected into a focused, functioning and effective engine to house and serve the residents of Salem and Keizer is in process in ways that are visible and in ways more subtle.

Salem Housing Authority's role in providing quality affordable housing options and demonstrating sound asset and property management practices is key to this focused effort to house and serve the residents of Salem and Keizer.  I look forward to providing updates as this process unfolds.
