|  Washington State law directs that the Tacoma Housing Authority shall be governed by a five person Board of Commissioners that the Mayor of Tacoma shall appoint. The Mayor appoints each Commissioner to a five year term. Since 1998, the law also directs that the Board shall include an individual who receives assistance from THA's federal housing programs. THA has had such a person on its Board since 1990. Commissioners are volunteers. They do not receive any financial compensation for their time or work. Their service on THA's Board is a notable instance of community service.
