Updated – Online HAPCheck Live

HAPCheck is now live!

Coming October 1st, AHA has introduced a new system to allow HAP payments to be viewed online. Using this new system, called HAPCheck, Landlords will be able to view the previous 18 months of HAP payments. HAPCheck is a centralized, secure, web-based system for producing on-line statements for all owners. HAPCheck eliminates the need for creating paper payment statements, saving time, eliminating excess paper usage and improving owner access to data.

Update:

HAPCheck is now live!

AHA has created a new Landlord section on our website. This section will contain information and the link to connect to the new HAPCheck website. HAPCheck link below:

AHA would like to thank everyone who helped make this years block parties at North Albany Homes and Capital Woods a success. Things went extremely well; over 300 people participated in the event. Music was provided by DJ Bobby Keyes. Kids could play in a bouncy bounce, enjoy a water slide or get their faces painted by MisChief the clown.  As for food, there was a cook out with Popeye’s donating 100 pieces of chicken and Stewart’s donating 150 ice cream sundaes for dessert.

A Successful 2009 National Night Out

HELLO ALL:

AHA wanted to let you know how much we truly enjoyed this year’s National Night Out event. It was moving, inspiring and a lot of fun.  We were so proud of everyone at all the sites. There was great community spirit in Arbor Hill, North Albany and the South-end! The team did an amazing job again this year. THANK YOU!

It was great to have all the Neighborhood Association members involved with this event! We were extremely impressed with all the collaborations and community partnerships. The kids, the families, the vendors, the CBO’s and the community as a whole enjoyed it all!

Again, congratulations and THANK YOU.
