​Grand Forks Housing Authority is currently seeking a participant representative for its Board of Commissioners. Commissioners are asked to participate in bi-monthly meetings (every other month), which are generally scheduled at 11:30 AM - 1:30 PM (lunch included) on the first Thursday of the month. It is not abnormal for these meetings to run until 2:30 pm. Commissioners play a critical role in setting policy for the GFHA and the 2,000+ households served by its programs daily.

The Participant commissioner must be a housing choice voucher participant in good-standing with their housing choice voucher and their landlord. Please note: Commissioners are volunteers and do not receive any compensation for their service. Beginning September 2022, the GFHA Board of Commissioners offers a stipend to the Participant Commissioner of $100 per meeting, up to a maximum of $1,200 per year.
