The St. Louis Housing Authority (SLHA) Board of Commissioners is proud to announce the appointment of 𝗟𝗮𝘁𝗮𝘀𝗵𝗮 𝗞. 𝗕𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗲𝘀 as Executive Director. Latasha is a staunch advocate for affordable housing with a robust legal background and extensive experience in tenant advocacy, fair housing enforcement, and community development. Her expertise uniquely equips her to navigate complex regulations and develop innovative solutions that will benefit both SLHA and its residents. 

Latasha brings a wealth of experience and passion to this role, explained SLHA Board Chairman Sal Martinez. As our Acting Executive Director and former Chief of Staff, she has already demonstrated a strong commitment to our mission and a collaborative leadership style that fosters resident-centered policies and trauma-informed housing practices.

She served as a senior attorney for Legal Services of Eastern Missouri, Inc., and as a Managing Attorney and Race Equity Task Force Chair for Land of Lincoln Legal Aid, Inc. 

Latasha, a licensed attorney in Missouri and Illinois, holds a Juris Doctor from Saint Louis University School of Law and a bachelors degree in political science from the University of Georgia. In 2021, she was honored with the Rising Star in Community Building Award for her contributions to community development efforts in St. Louis City.
