The Morganton Housing Authority would like to give a heartfelt THANK YOU to Mary McLachlan, Executive Director of the Burke County Literacy Council, for their generous donation and for setting up a wonderful “Laundry & Literacy” reading center at our Carolina/Virginia St. laundry site!

Because while the clothes are getting clean, why not let a few pages turn, too? 📖✨

We’re grateful for community partners like Burke County Literacy Council who help turn everyday spaces into opportunities for learning, connection, and growth. ❤️

We are thrilled to announce the successful completion of our NSPIRE Inspection for Providence Place Apartments across our Carolina, Virginia, Center, Wrighton, and Huffman Street locations. We expect a great score in the upcoming days!!!

The inspector was thoroughly impressed by the condition of each apartment that was inspected and spoke very highly of the residents she encountered and our maintenance team. We are so proud to be a part of such a great group of staff and residents.

Every great success we achieve is only a result of what happens when we work together!

Congratulations✨🏡

We are so happy to congratulate Ms. Perez on winning our Beautification Contest!

There’s something special about turning a house into a home. From the beautiful touches outside to the warmth and care throughout, it’s clear that she has poured love, pride, and personality into making her home a place that feels welcoming and truly her own.

We at MHA, appreciate all our residents who take pride in their homes and help bring beauty and warmth to our communities.

Congratulations on this well-deserved recognition, and keep up the wonderful work! 🌷💐

MHA's 2026 Annual Family Day was a great success. Thanks to all the agencies, MDPS, and vendors who came out in support of our community. Nothing we do can be accomplished without “YOU”!

We couldn’t let the evening end without posting one of our favorite challenges. The yellow team was tasked with making a Resident Recruitment video, and we all couldn’t help but smile at how great this video turned out. Good job, yellow team. And a big thank you to our wonderful MHA resident who had no idea she would be shooting a video today but said so many wonderful things about our agency and the place she calls home ❤️.
