Housing Development Alliance

Hello my Cyber Space friends, it's me again Tonya Perkins. There is not much going on around here at the Housing Development Alliance, Inc. Our new office building is coming along pretty fast. Hopefully we will be in there sometime in June. Then you will see us doing the Happy Dance, YEE HAW!!! Can't wait it has been a long time coming. The finance department, which is the department I work in, will have our own offices. It will be a different at first since we are all bunched up in the little office we are in now. I will miss being right next to everyone, but we will get our own space, which will be so nice. We will be having some volunteers coming in a few days; we are excited to have them as we are to all of the volunteers that come from all around. Well that's all I have for you this time friends, stay tuned in to see what is coming up next here at the Housing Development Alliance.

Hello, my name is John Bush, and to quote Janie in an earlier post, I am the Rehabilitation Specialist/Energy Efficiency Auditor of the Housing Development Alliance, Inc (HDA). I think my title is more of a work in progress, as are most of our rehabs. A brief history about myself: I was raised here in Perry County, I graduated from Buckhorn High School, I was an AmeriCorps Volunteer here at the HDA from November 1997 to August 1999, and I went to EKU for a while and then came back to Hazard. Most recently, I worked at Home Lumber Company, a local lumberyard and concrete plant. Since returning to the HDA, I have spent a lot of my time in training. This training focuses on making a home more energy efficient by using the Building Performance Institute, Inc. (BPI) national standards. I have received two certifications from BPI (Building Analyst Professional and Envelope Professional) and I am working on a 3rd certification (Heating Professional). You can find out more about these standards and the certifications offered at http://www.bpi.org/. That is all I have for now, I will keep you updated on how well I use the BPI certifications on our rehabs. Have a good day!

Hello, This is Pam, the Housing Counselor at the Housing Development Alliance, I am to let you know what has been going on with the Housing Counselor. Not a lot has happened since my last blog. My time has mostly been spent in the office...taking calls, meeting with client, taking applications and working on some housing counseling. Well that's the update for the Housing Counselor....until next time.
