Clermont Metropolitan Housing

What Clermont Metropolitan Housing does

Clermont Metropolitan Housing Authority (CMHA) is a federally designated Public Housing Authority serving Clermont County, Ohio, under the oversight of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The organization administers five core programs: Public Housing (175 CMHA-owned units across Bethel Woods, Williamsburg Woods, Monroe Woods, Llewellyn Court, and scattered sites), Housing Choice Vouchers (HCV/Section 8) for private-market rental assistance, Project Based Vouchers at Birney Lane 52 (26 units), Non-Elderly Disabled Vouchers (75 awarded), and HUD-VASH vouchers for homeless and at-risk veterans (40 awarded). CMHA serves low-income families, elderly persons aged 62+, non-elderly disabled individuals, and veterans experiencing homelessness, with over 850 families assisted monthly and more than $8 million annually flowing into the local economy through rent and utility payments to private owners.

The operating model is government-to-consumer, funded primarily by HUD grants of over $7 million annually, supplemented by tax-deductible donations channeled through its wholly-owned non-profit subsidiary, Clermont Housing Corporation (CHC). Tenant rent is calculated at 30% of adjusted gross income for income-based programs, with a flat-rent option set at 80% of Fair Market Value minus utilities for Public Housing. CMHA pays over $700,000 monthly in Housing Assistance Payments (HAP) directly to private landlords, who receive guaranteed rent via direct deposit and biennial (rather than annual) HUD inspections.

CMHA's technology stack consists of HUD-standard systems for housing quality inspections (HQS/NSPIRE), income verification (EIV), payment processing, and a third-party online waitlist portal (housingmanager.com); no proprietary technology is disclosed. The organization employs between 1 and 10 staff, is governed by a five-member Board of Commissioners, and is led by Executive Director Alicia Morlatt. CMHA is currently developing Veterans Village, a $10.6 million, LEED-certified, 19-unit HUD-VASH housing community on a 15+ acre site in Amelia, Ohio, with construction scheduled from Spring 2026 through Fall 2027 and $7.82 million of the $9 million fundraising goal already committed across federal, state, county, and private sources.

Additionally, CMHA is developing Veterans Village, a 19-unit LEED-certified housing community for homeless veterans with a community center.
