In order to be eligible for our programs, there are income limits that cannot be exceeded, depending on your family size. (Income limits are subject to change annually.) See the Administrative Plan which incorporates the mission statements and policy procedures.

The Fayette Metropolitan Housing Authority Board meets quarterly on the second Tuesday in March, June, September, and December on the forth floor in the County Administration Building at 133 S. Main St, Washington C. H., Ohio.

The Highland Metropolitan Housing Authority Board meets twice per year in April and October at the Ponderosa Restaurant 545 S. High Street, in the City of Hillsboro, OH.

The primary objectives of the FMHA & HMHA are:

To make public relations a priority.
