On Saturday, October 31, 2026, at 8:00 a.m., Mobile Housing Authority (MHA) staff members proudly participated in the American Cancer Society’s Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk!

What a wonderful event for such an important cause! We were excited to come together with our community to raise awareness, celebrate survivors, honor those we have lost, and show support for everyone impacted by breast cancer.

Mobile Housing Authority Hosts Successful Fraud Education Summit for Senior Residents

In October, the Mobile Housing Authority (MHA) hosted a successful Fraud Education Summit at Central Plaza Towers, coordinated by Alabama State Representative Adline C. Clarke, in partnership with the Alabama Securities Commission and the Better Business Bureau.

MHA was pleased to welcome guest speakers Anna Jordan, Legislative Director of External Affairs with the Alabama Securities Commission, and Evey Owen of the Better Business Bureau, along with Representative Clarke.

The summit provided senior residents with valuable information on how to recognize, prevent, and protect themselves from common scams and fraudulent activities. Topics included payment app fraud, Bitcoin and cryptocurrency scams, romance scams, and investment fraud schemes.

The event was a wonderful opportunity to educate and empower our senior residents with the knowledge and resources needed to protect their personal and financial information.

MHA remains committed to promoting the safety, well-being, and financial security of our residents. We extend a special thank-you to Representative Adline C. Clarke for coordinating this important event, as well as our guest speakers, community partners, and MHA staff for helping make the summit a success!

** FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE **
Another Progressive Milestone for the Mobile Housing Authority!
September 15, 2026

The Mobile Housing Authority has been notified by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”) that it has successfully completed the requirements of the 2024 Action Plan and has emerged from the designation of substandard in its “PHAS” rating. PHAS, officially known as the Public Housing Assessment System, is the tool used by HUD to evaluate, score, and oversee the performance of housing authorities.

The housing authority entered into an Action Plan in late 2024 to address the findings and scoring of its performance and immediately took steps to address the deficiencies. The plan provided for target completion dates for actions by the agency. By letter dated September 3, 2026, HUD provided notice of the agency’s success in meeting its obligations under the plan.

“I am proud to join the other members of the Board of Commissioners in celebrating this accomplishment by the staff and interim leadership at the agency. The dedicated professionals at the Mobile Housing Authority go to work every day with the mission of providing safe and affordable housing to low and moderately-low-income families in this community, said William Ray, Chairman of the Board.
