In an attempt to stabilize the agency and decrease employee turnover, the Atlanta Housing Authority has chosen Gregory Johnson, current CEO of the Cincinnati Metropolitan Housing Authority, as its new president and CEO.
“Mr. Johnson brings a combined 24 years of experience working in every department of a housing authority. He has a history of solving complex problems,” says Dr. Christopher Edwards, AH’s board chair.
Edwards also says that Johnson has a great depth of experience in building and getting affordable housing up very quickly. Johnson has prepared authorities to become builders themselves when developers are moving slowly.
Cincinnati’s housing authority owns and operates about 5,300 housing units and serves about 11,000 more households through vouchers. Atlanta has more like 22,000 households as clients either through vouchers, as residents of agency-owned communities or other programs. To read more about both, click here.
