The Housing Authority of the City of Montgomery, Alabama (MHA) was formed by a State of Alabama Charter on June 9, 1939. MHA was established as a local control entity for the provision and administration of publicly funded affordable housing that was constructed by the Public Works Administration (PWA). An integral part of President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s New Deal economic relief initiatives, public housing was constructed to provide employment opportunities as well as decent, safe and sanitary housing for impoverished families as the United States struggled to recover from the Great Depression.

 MHA continued its legacy of providing quality affordable housing and aggressively undertaking the redevelopment of its housing stock. Richardson Terrace, a 90-unit senior apartment building, underwent an award-winning renovation, that was completed in 2013 and renamed “The Terrace”. The former Victor Tulane Court was demolished and redeveloped into two separate communities: Victor Tulane Gardens, 102 apartment homes, was completed in 2005; and The Plaza at Centennial Hill, Phases I and II, 258 apartments and townhomes, opened in 2013 and 2016 respectively. MHA’s most recent venture, in affordable housing, is the redevelopment of the former Trenholm Court. In 2013, MHA demolished the property and a created a master-plan to redevelop the community.

MHA has adhered to its mission and goal of developing affordable housing to benefit the residents of Montgomery. MHA has expanded its portfolio and is a leading affordable housing resource of choice for the citizens of Montgomery.
