DALLAS — The Dallas Housing Authority (DHA) Board of Commissioners accepted the resignation of Ann Lott, president and CEO effective July 29, during a special called meeting of the board to discuss personnel matters.

Lott began her career as a management clerk more than 20 years ago and became the second female president in September 2000.

"Ms. Lott has done a lot for DHA and Dallas," said Betty Culbreath, board chairwoman. "I believe she did what is in the best interest of the agency."

The board appointed Troy Broussard, chief of staff, as interim president and CEO while they conduct a national search. Broussard has been with the agency since 1992 and has worked in several positions including housing counselor, planner, resident services, vice president of Affordable Housing and as chief of staff.

DHA provides housing assistance to more than 60,000 eligible citizens through its public housing and voucher programs throughout the Metroplex. The agency has become a national model among public housing authorities throughout the nation for its housing initiatives.
