Message from the Executive Director
 |
We welcome 2022 wishing everyone a year of good health, joy and prosperity. This year I will continue to pursue new opportunities to add quality housing to the City of Hialeah. In 2021 we added 175 Section 8 vouchers, and a brand-new building "Villa Mariposa" housing 83 elderly families. Our goal this year is to continue to work together with our local, state, and federal elected officials to allocate funding for our housing authority's current programs and keep adding affordable housing to our beautiful City. One of our yearly priorities is always to maintain our properties in good condition to provide our residents with good quality housing. Thank you for reading this quarter's newsletter. Julio Ponce Executive Director |

Dear neighbors, I am humbled and honored by your support. As Mayor, I consider the Hialeah Housing Authority a pillar of our community, which serves those who have built this city into what it is. These newsletters are an incredible way to highlight the legacy that HHA continues to build. I am happy and blessed to be a part of that. My administration will work hand in hand with Executive Director Julio Ponce and the Board of Commissioners to ensure the highest quality of life. Thank you for allowing me to give power to your voice! I am at your service always. Sincerely, Esteban Bovo, Jr.
