FROM THE CEO
Sharon N. Tolbert, Chief Executive Officer
Goodbye Summer, hello Fall! I hope all are being safe and continuing to adjust as we all navigate through the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. The Fall 2020 edition of the Auburn Forward reflect on events from the previous quarter and upcoming events.
The Auburn Housing Authority's ("AHA") Board of Commissioners approved the COVID-19 Reopening Plan ("Plan") on June 30, 2020. The Plan is intended to implement a thorough, thoughtful, and methodical approach to reopening the AHA to staff, clients and the general public as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Plan outlines the following reopening phases.
Phase One: Assessment/Evaluation
- Administrative staff primarily works remotely.
- Maintenance staff completes emergency work orders and work in vacant units.
- Closed to the public.
Phase Two: Partial Return (Current)
- Administrative staff to alternate between working onsite and remotely.
- Maintenance staff completes emergency work orders and work in vacant units.
- Office open by appointment only.
Phase Three: New Normal
- All staff returns to normal work schedule while abiding by the Centers for Disease Control's (CDC) recommendations.
- Work order restriction lifted. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) still required.
- Office opened, but appointments encouraged. Offices will be modified to adhere to CDC recommendations.
Due to the downward trend of COVID-19 cases in Lee county, AHA transitioned to Phase Two beginning September 21, 2020.
In an effort to better serve our families and to alleviate the administrative burden on staff, the AHA will be implementing various virtual services to include but not limited to online rent payment, electronic lease execution and renewal, online recertification, and virtual resident meetings and workshops. We anticipate implementing virtual services by November 1, 2020; however, the date is subject to change.
I want to thank the AHA's Board of Commissioners for their continued support and dedication. Special thank you to all of our community partners that have assisted with providing services to our residents. As always, I have to commend our staff for their hard work and dedication as we strive to meet the housing needs of our families.
As we enjoy the cool and crisp weather that comes with the Fall season, I ask that you please adhere to the CDC's guideline in an effort to minimize the spread of COVID-19.
