As the President and CEO of the St. Petersburg Housing Authority (SPHA), I'm pleased to share with you some updates and news in our Spring Newsletter.

Spring is a time of renewal and growth, and it’s a great opportunity to reflect on the progress we are making together as a community.

At SPHA, our mission goes beyond providing housing. We are committed to helping residents thrive by creating supportive communities where every individual has the opportunity to grow, achieve stability, and build a brighter future. Your success is at the heart of everything we do.

Your voice matters to us. We encourage you to share your ideas, feedback, or questions at any time by reaching out to communications@stpeteha.org.

Together, we are building a stronger, more connected community, and I thank you for being a part of it.

Wishing you a wonderful Spring season.

Warm regards,

Michael Lundy

President & CEO
