Esteemed interim executive director Duggins gives a fresh, contemporary look to that boring old New Albany Housing Authority Fact Sheet.

Out with the old ...

... and welcome the new.

The most recent update of the on-line NAHA Fact Sheet came in February, as the putsch was underway. It's a wonder it hasn't been scrubbed from the web site. Paper copies of the fact sheet are said to be depleted following use in Duggins' esteemed interim executive director's washroom.

ABOUT THE NEW ALBANY HOUSING AUTHORITY

The New Albany Housing Authority (NAHA) was established in March of 1937 and began providing affordable housing to the residents of New Albany in 1938. Since the 1930's the New Albany Housing Authority has evolved to become much more in the lives of it's residents than a provider of a roof and four walls. The Housing Authority provides opportunity for self-improvement and personal growth for young families, senior citizens and those eager to improve their career and life prospects.
