PHBO is a legacy service of the Public Housing Management Institute (PHMI).
Over the past decade housing authorities across the country have found the Commissioners Guide to Public Housing published by PHMI to be a practical and useful resource. The small, easily read volume offers commissioners insight to the workings and role of the public housing agency and their role and responsibilities in providing policy leadership. The demand for the book continues and PublicHousingBooks.com is a web based resource for purchasing not only the Commissioners Guide but other volumes that are intended to serve the professional development interests of public housing executives and staff.

There is no interest or effort on our part to replicate the excellent resources provided by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The Department provides extensive material primarily intended to support the massive regulatory requirements and funding opportunities that are part of the governmental structure. We recognize that professional leadership of a public housing agency is an exceptionally complex, sophisticated and challenging responsibility Through Public Housing Books we will offer literature and material intended to support the professional development interests and needs of these leaders.
