HISTORIC FUNDING
Since our formation, MHA's top advocacy priority has been ensuring adequate funding for the county's Housing Initiative Fund (HIF). For the past four years we have advocated for a sustained investment of at least $100 million in the HIF. MHA will continue our advocacy and work with elected officials to ensure that future years match this level of funding, in order to meet the county's housing targets.
