Presidents' Day 2026: Honoring Roosevelt and Supporting Public Housing Authorities

This Presidents' Day, we honor President Franklin D. Roosevelt, who signed the Housing Act of 1937 as part of the New Deal. This landmark legislation provided government subsidies to local Public Housing Authorities (PHAs), empowering them to offer safe, decent, and sanitary housing to low-income families. It marked a significant step toward alleviating financial hardships and reducing homelessness across the nation.

For decades, Berman Hopkins has proudly supported the ongoing mission of the Housing Act by establishing itself as one of the leading CPA firms serving public housing authorities. Our work enables PHAs to maintain and expand affordable housing, helping families in need—from major metropolitan areas to smaller communities striving to make a difference. Our nationwide client base stretches from the sandy beaches of Tampa, Florida, and the Gulf Coast of New Orleans, Louisiana, to the wide plains of Austin, Texas; from the heart of the Midwest in Grand Rapids, Michigan, Minneapolis, Minnesota, and South Bend, Indiana, to the iconic shores of Los Angeles, California. Each of these PHAs carries a rich history and a steadfast commitment to affordable housing, reflecting the spirit of the Housing Act and the ongoing mission to provide safe, accessible homes for families in need.

By honoring President Roosevelt’s legacy, we celebrate the past while actively pursuing a sustainable future. We empower Public Housing Authorities to navigate the complex intersection of social mission and intense administrative pressure. Our expert team is committed to easing that burden by providing year-round audit readiness, smooth HUD compliance and submissions, and comprehensive support.
