About HMHA
How We Got Started
Hancock Metropolitan Housing Authority (HMHA) was chartered in 1991 under the laws of the State of Ohio with the cooperation of the City of Findlay, the Hancock County Commissioners, the Hancock Regional Planning Commission, and local citizens.
What We Do
HMHA administers HUD’s Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program and currently services Hancock, Wyandot, Putnam and Hardin Counties. The HCV Program provides rent subsidy assistance to eligible families. Families with a tenant-based voucher are able to choose from a variety of safe, affordable, privately-owned units.
