About Portsmouth Metropolitan Housing Authority (PMHA)

In 1938 a group of concerned citizens faced the problems of the recent destruction of housing by the 1937 flood, the large number of substandard rental housing units in our area and the employment of idle building trade artisans. A recently passed bill by the U.S. Congress, the U.S. Housing Act of 1937 seemed to address these community problems. Also, the Ohio State Legislature recently amended the state housing laws to bring them in line with the newly enacted federal statutes. This gave broader power to local housing authorities and enabled them to avail themselves to federal funds.
