The Fairmont and Morgantown Housing Authorities (FMHA) are administered by the Housing Authority of the City of Fairmont.  The administrative offices of both housing authorities are located at 103 Twelfth Street in Fairmont, West Virginia.  Each housing authority has a separate Board of Commissioners and is jointly administered by one staff.  The FMHA serves the cities of Fairmont and Morgantown as well as Monongalia, Marion, Preston and Taylor Counties.

The FMHA maintains a satellite office in Morgantown located at 238-B Spruce Street.  This office provides the full range of services and is open Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday of each week.  The Morgantown office also provides services that are specific to the Morgantown area such as the Community Development Block Grant Housing Programs and the Morgantown Homeownership Preservation Initiative.
