• The Future of Resident Services :
  • Under the direction of Yolanda Hart there will be many new events and services available to the HHA's residents in the near future. 

    • Ms. Hart has enlisted the services of "Hospice for All Seasons" to collaborate with the HHA in providing services to residents in order to build a relationship of trust between the hospice service provider and residence before the tenants need their services.  Hospice for All Seasons will provide residences with services such as preparing healthy meals, assisting the elderly with medical and mental health services, adding a youth department equivalent to the services for adults, and music and pet therapy. This will first be implemented at Morrison Towers.

    • Ms. Hart has further aspirations of adding programs to include:

      •   job training, credit restoration, GED, college prep and entrance, continuing education, pregnancy awareness, drug and alcohol awareness and rehab, sexual abuse, physical abuse, mental health wellness, along with programs to help residents work through lease violations to help them remain in housing and move towards becoming first time home owners.
