Everett Housing Authority

The Everett Housing Authority (EHA) appointed Major Galloway as the organization's new executive director. Galloway has a background in policy from both Housing and Urban Development, and most recently the Atlanta Housing Authority. He was vice president of regulatory affairs for the Office of Strategy, Policy, and Regulatory Affairs for Atlanta Housing. During Galloway's tenure in Atlanta, he led Atlanta's acquisition, self-finance and self-development efforts to prepare the agency to produce 5,000 units over the next 5 years. He also spearheaded efforts to enhance tenant mobility into low-poverty areas under the Housing Choice Voucher program and prepare Atlanta to employ its development efforts to reduce poverty concentration. Prior to his work in Atlanta, Galloway served as a senior policy advisor at the HUD Office of Policy Program and Legislative Initiatives for almost 15 years, as well as serving as the policy analyst for the National Association of Housing and Redevelopment Official (NAHRO) for three years during the Clinton Administration. Along with becoming the executive director of EHA, Galloway has also been appointed to chair the NAHRO Historically Black Colleges and Universities Public Housing Authority industry task force, appointed by the incoming NAHRO president for 2024-2025. EHA was incorporated in 1942 to address a shortage of safe and sanitary housing for modest income households in the city. EHA, part of HUD's Moving to Work demonstration program, has remained focused on expanding the supply of affordable housing for low-income individuals and families residing within Everett.
