The Youngstown Metropolitan Housing Authority (YMHA) was established in the early 1930s, making it one of the first housing authorities in the United States.

The YMHA has a staff of 80 professionals dedicated to administering 2239 Housing Choice Vouchers, managing a portfolio of 1455 Public Housing units, and operating with a budget of $30 million. The agency’s housing portfolio is concentrated in Youngstown, but some units are scattered throughout Mahoning County.

Residents also benefit from an extensive set of support services that include self-sufficiency programs, housing counseling, youth after school programs, Youthbuild, and Neighborhood Networks computer centers.

The agency is also in the process of concluding a very aggressive, comprehensive modernization of its entire portfolio of housing units.

YMHA is more than brick and mortar. Our goal isn't building more buildings, but building up more people. Whether it is through job training, self-sufficiency programs or homeownership programs, we want to be involved and assist in any way we can.
