About MAPHD
Since 1941, local housing authorities across Maine have been providing safe, attractive, affordable housing to people with low and moderate incomes.
Based in 20 cities and towns from Van Buren to York, local housing authorities own and manage over 4,000 affordable public housing units. Through the Section 8 program, they help over 8,000 additional Maine households afford private rental housing.
MAPHD serves the Executive Directors of Maine’s twenty local housing authorities and MaineHousing in Augusta. Since 1975, MAPHD has been working to retain institutional knowledge and to expand the role that housing authorities play in the development of affordable housing. MAPHD is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization and is located at the Westbrook Housing Authority.
