Manhattan Housing Authority is in a state of “substantial default,” according to a letter from the federal government obtained by The Mercury.
U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development officials say MHA, which oversees federally subsidized low-income housing, is in default “with respect to the covenants or conditions to which the public housing agency is subject.”
In 2018, MHA received a low score on its routine assessment and was required to show substantial improvement on subsequent annual assessments.
