Mission Statement

The Maryland Association of Housing and Redevelopment Agencies (MAHRA) is Maryland State agency in the National Association of Housing and Redevelopment Officials (NAHRO). As such, MAHRA is a professional membership organization comprised of several housing and community development agencies and officials throughout the State of Maryland who administer a variety of affordable housing and community development programs at the local level.

MAHRA's mission is to create affordable housing and safe, viable communities that enhance the quality of life for all Marylanders, especially those of low- and moderate-income by:

• Ensuring that housing and community development professionals have the leadership skills, education, information and tools to serve communities in a rapidly changing environment;
• Advocating for appropriate laws and policies which are sensitive to the needs of the people served, are financially and programmatically viable for our industry, are flexible, promote deregulation and local decision making; and
• Fostering the highest standards of ethical behavior, service and accountability.

MAHRA enhances the professional development and effectiveness of its members through its conferences and caucus' and through our link to the regional and National organization and its comprehensive professional development curriculum, conferences, and publications. Through these efforts we are working to equip our membership with the skills, knowledge, and abilities necessary to survive and prosper in a changing environment, and make our Association more efficient and effective.
