Craig - I don't believe the "precise" numbers. MPHA has never been audited. They claim to have 6,700 housing units, primarily funded by the Federal government.
I called them a couple of months ago, pretending to inquire for my mother, I was told that they had "lots" of apartments available - but only for seniors, 50 and over. They mailed me an application - stating that it would take six months to process. I can process an application in 2 hours and Wal-Mart can do it in 6 seconds. As I recall from sketchy newspaper reporting, no one knows what happened to the $110 million that MPHA received from the Federal government to rectify the loss of the Hollman lawsuit. Dick Brustad (former head of the MCDA and King of the Moneysniffers) was running the agency at the time. My guess is that MPHA has a couple of hundred vacant units that they don't even know about. If anyone wants to know this agency functions, just call the MPHA at 612 342 1400. Imagine what it would be like if you really needed help. I would be happy to volunteer my time to conduct an audit of the MPHA. I do have thirty years of experience in that field.
