Note: While reviewing files, an old 25-page typed document containing the
History of the Housing Authority
of Maricopa County was found. Because of its historical
content, it was decided to scan and post that document to this website. It is a
narrative summary of the minutes of the Board of Commissioners from 1942 until 1991,
written by some unknown staff member almost 20 years ago. |
