  2. To provide a safe and secure quality of life for our elderly and handicapped residents in the most efficient and cost-effective manner.
  3. To establish rental fees.
  4. The Commission also mirrors the Department of Housing and Urban Development’s mission to promote adequate and affordable housing, economic opportunity, and a suitable living environment free from discrimination.
