The Mechanicville Housing Authority (MHA) located in the City of Mechanicville in Saratoga County was created by the New York State Legislature at the request of the City Council of the City of Mechanicville in 1949 stating that it would be in the public interest to create and establish for the City of Mechanicville a Municipal Housing Authority.
MHA receives funding from Federal government sources and must comply with applicable requirements of those funding sources. The management of the MHA is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over compliance with requirements of law, regulations, contracts and grants applicable to federal programs.
The MHA had total revenues of $2,769,137 for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2021. Expenditures of Federal Award costs were funded primarily from rental income from tenants and subsidies from HUD.
