A Message from Executive Director

Welcome to the Elkhart Housing Authority!

At the Elkhart Housing Authority, we believe that housing is more than a place to live. It is the foundation for stability, opportunity, dignity, and hope. Strong communities begin with strong homes, and we are committed to helping individuals and families access the safe, affordable, and quality housing they need to thrive. Our work is guided by a deep commitment to public service and to the people we are entrusted to serve. Every day, we strive to support residents not only through housing, but also through programs, partnerships, and resources that encourage personal growth, economic independence, and overall well-being. We recognize that when families are supported, neighborhoods are strengthened, and the entire community benefits.

The Elkhart Housing Authority is proud to play an important role in fostering communities where residents feel respected, valued, and connected. We are dedicated to creating environments that promote safety, encourage engagement, and reflect the pride of the people who live there. We also understand that meaningful progress happens through collaboration, and we are grateful for the many partners, local leaders, and community stakeholders who work alongside us to expand opportunities and improve quality of life for those we serve.

Whether you are a resident, applicant, community partner, or visitor, we hope this website serves as a helpful resource for learning more about our programs, services, and mission. More importantly, we hope it reflects our ongoing commitment to transparency, accessibility, and responsive service.

We are honored to serve this community and remain committed to building a stronger future for Elkhart - one that is rooted in compassion, partnership, and opportunity for all.

Sincerely,

Marsha Parham-Green
Interim Executive Director
Elkhart Housing Authority
