Karen Miniex is the top lawyer for a public agency that provides affordable housing for more than 60,000 Houstonians. She is the vice president and general counsel of the Houston Housing Authority, which owns 26 properties and is one of the largest housing authorities in the country.

During the 2.5 years that Miniex has been GC, she has drafted the HHA’s first whistleblower policy and an addendum to the agency’s lease agreements, which prohibits smoking in HHA properties—both adopted by the agency’s Board of Commissioners—and streamlined the residential eviction process from 12 to 3 months.
