Revenue model

1. Subsidized Tenant Rent: Low-income tenants pay approximately 30% of monthly income toward rent; MHA collects rental payments and receives subsidy payments from HUD to cover the difference between tenant contribution and approved rent levels.
2. Housing Choice Voucher (Section 8) Administration: MHA administers the HCV program for 421 families, receiving federal funding from HUD to make housing assistance payments to landlords on behalf of eligible tenants.
3. Market-Rate Rental Income: Non-assisted rentals at Parkville Apartments and Thomas Jefferson Community generate standard rental income at market rates from tenants who do not require subsidy.
4. Development and Grant Revenue: Through Building for Change Inc. (501c3 nonprofit), MHA pursues development projects like the 34 East mixed-use development to generate grant funding and expand affordable housing capacity.
