The Ohio State Board of Housing Commissioners approved the creation of Dayton Metropolitan Housing Authority on May 8, 1934. The "Authority" was established to provide decent, safe, and sanitary housing at an affordable rent to low-income families. DMHA's jurisdiction encompasses all of Montgomery County, with the exception of the Village of Verona. The Public Housing Program of today was established by the U.S. Congress under the Housing Act of 1937. The first DMHA housing development was completed and occupied in 1940.
Dayton Metropolitan Housing Authority Philosophy:
DMHA's administrative philosophy states that "DMHA residents deserve the best...the best in housing, the best in services, and the best opportunity to grow socially and economically". This administrative philosophy is the foundation of DMHA's objective to not only provide housing, but to also encourage character building and responsible citizenship through our programs and services.
