MS Development Authority Releases Housing Action Plan

The Mississippi Development Authority (MDA) has published its Public Housing Program Action Plan. The plan details the process and procedures for the administration of funds available to the five Mississippi Gulf Coast housing authorities in Jackson, Hancock and Harrison counties that suffered damage as a result of Hurricane Katrina.

MDA has posted its plan for administering the public housing program at http://www.MSHomeHelp.gov/. The public is invited to make comments and suggestions during a roughly one-week comment period ending June 18, 2006.

During the comment period, MDA will compile and evaluate the submissions, make any necessary adjustments to the action plan and submit it to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for final approval.
