The Housing Authority Board is responsible for making and enforcing policies and providing financial and administrative oversight of Santa Fe County's Housing Authority including the administration of federally funded Public Housing and Section 8 Programs. The Board also provides oversight and direction to the Housing Authority's leadership in the administration of all other special programs including Homeownership, Family Self-Sufficiency Program, VASH, Linkages Program, and the Bridge program.

The Housing Authority Board strives to make its meetings accessible to the public through one or more virtual meeting platforms. Those alternatives, however, are not guaranteed due to internet and other service disruptions and equipment failures, and duly noticed meetings may be held notwithstanding that those alternatives are unexpectedly unavailable. Accordingly, members of the public assume the risk that they may be unable to watch and listen and/or participate in Housing Authority Board meetings through such virtual meeting platforms. Subject to the above disclaimer, the Housing Authority Board intends to allow members of the public to listen and participate in its meetings virtually.
