Grand Junction Housing Authority

(Authoritative)

Established:

The Grand Junction Housing Authority (“GJHA”) was created in 1974.

Mission/Purpose:

The Grand Junction Housing Authority helps people when they are most vulnerable to regain their footing, and together we strengthen the community.

Membership/Terms:

The organizational resolution has been amended to allow for seven members, and those members need not be City residents. Members serve five-year terms and it is preferred they be knowledgeable in the area of real estate. A City Councilmember also serves on this board.

Until recently, a resident member of the Authority was required due to the funding being received. That is no longer a requirement, but the City Council and the Authority agreed having a resident member on the board is valuable.
