Site work and seasonal information

Winter will be here soon…hoping the snow stays away! However, the HA remains prepared to respond to any weather-related emergencies, PLEASE HAVE YOUR OWN PLANS for any potential weather emergencies that may affect your ability to travel or to get deliveries of food, prescriptions, etc. Please refer to the snow emergency information that is distributed ahead of any impending storms, as a reminder the HA first priority is the overall safety of the facilities and the HA team working to make the facilities safe for all. Hence, the HA will strive to keep roads passable and may periodically clear heavier snow fall during an extended event, depending on conditions and safety concerns, in order to allow the final cleanup and deicers application to be more manageable and completed effectively and as fast as possible. Please NOTE intermittent clearing is not guaranteed, but the HA staff are typically able to respond to emergencies during a snow event. You should shelter in place during any heavy snow events to allow crews to clear roads and walkways AND for YOUR safety. You DO NOT need to take your garbage out during a storm in most instances, stay inside, listen to updates and wait for the HA crews to finish clearing snow in and around your unit and complex. Your cooperation is expected and appreciated; however, your smart decisions keep you safe and prevent unexpected situations to arise.

The HA recognizes many notices are sent about safety and issues related to tenants being frustrated with each other, varying issues, all the HA ultimately expects, as do your neighbors is for peace and harmony among tenants so the HA can focus on providing housing, even if we are all unique in our own ways, the things we/you can control our/your own actions, choices and how we respond, life is 10% of what happens to us and 90% of how we react. Please note the HA does address lease violations, vigorously, however the process and procedures provided for such actions within the program rules and the State court system do cause unreasonable delays that the HA does not control.

These updates are provided so you are aware of the work the HA has planned to maintain and try to improve the facilities, as Director I never look at our facilities as subsidized housing, it is just housing and the goal is to make it as nice as possible. All people are different and we may not agree on everything with our neighbors and how things are operated, but we try to adjust and find the best possible results, even if imperfect. Ultimately the HA is trying to provide housing with limited resources and budgets spent over time responsibly to allow for long term viability of the property.

The HA will work to get these jobs done as fast as schedules, weather and conditions permit. Thank you to the Ockers tenants that sent in notes and cards recognizing the efforts and improvements. The words go a long way for employee morale!
