The maintenance department is responsible for the upkeep and maintenance of 361 GMHA-owned public housing units. Utilizing work order procedures, the maintenance department provides routine, preventative, and emergency maintenance work to ensure decent, safe, and sanitary housing for GMHA residents. In addition to work orders, maintenance staff is also responsible for preparing vacant units for occupancy and performing all annual inspections and related repairs.

The maintenance department plans to offer residents a home maintenance educational opportunity, which is currently being piloted in the Moving To Work Demonstration. Maintenance staff members will instruct a series of home maintenance classes, which will address basic home maintenance concerns such as drywall repair and basic plumbing and electrical issues. Residents interested in participating should call GMHA for more information.

Residents who want to place a work order for their unit should call GMHA during office hours, Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. (937-376-2908). Emergencies are the only items responded to after-hours or on weekends. In the event of an after-hours emergency, residents should call 937-376-0545 or 937-229-8798.
