From the Desk of the Property Manager
Please be sure to bring your annual packets mailed to you from the main office to the Spring Gardens Office once you complete the paperwork. We will email the annual packet and your documentation to them. When it's time to turn in your annual documentation, we now need your last 6 checking account statements and your current savings account statement. Make sure you call your bank ahead of time to make sure your statements are being mailed to you.
Community Information Reminders
On December 6, 2016, HUD issued a Final Rule which prohibited tobacco products. As a result, all Housing Authorities including Jefferson County Housing Authority must follow a Smoke Free Policy. Residents and guests cannot smoke inside their apartments or on patios. Smoking will be allowed 25 feet away from all JCHA housing and JCHA administrative office buildings. We should not smell smoke or see evidence of smoking when we come to your apartment for maintenance, inspections or pest control. Violations will include heavy fines leading up to lease termination. This policy will be strictly enforced.
- Someone is letting their dog relieve itself on the property regularly without picking up after your pet. This will not be tolerated.
- I am still seeing too many cars parked on the grass. Parking on the grass is not allowed. This includes your guests' vehicles. Fines and Lease Termination Letters will be issued if needed. We cannot make exceptions to bring in groceries.
- Please use only one parking space per vehicle. Do not take up two spaces. Maintenance has began striping the parking lot as needed to make sure everyone can see the lines clearly.
- Reduce your speed when driving through the community.
Share the above information with your guests. Again, you are responsible for your guests. Let's continue to keep our community beautiful, quiet and peaceful.

HOT LUNCHES ARE SERVED DAILY AT 11:30am
PLEASE SIGN IN BY 10:30am FOR SEATING
Lunches are provided by United Way Area Agency on Aging. Donations, in any amount, are appreciated but not required.
The food items, drinks, flatware, and cups that are provided by United Way Area Agency are the only items allowed in the dining room. NO EXCEPTIONS. Condiments are allowed if they are store-bought and labeled.
No one under the age of 60 years of age (unless it is a resident) is allowed to be present during lunch or participate in any other activity held at the Center during business hours. This includes children.
Policy on Foods Taken Away from the Center
Participants receiving a congregate meal shall be allowed to take home fresh fruit, unopened cartons of fruit juice; wrapped cakes, cookies, and snack cakes, individually wrapped portions of corn chips or potato chips. All other leftover foods shall be discarded at the end of the serving day.
**Take only one serving of milk, juice, fruit, snack cakes & cookies with your meal. If there are leftover items, after everyone is served, you may help yourself to one additional serving. The milk must be consumed at the center.
If you would like to purchase an additional meal after everyone is served, they are available for $5.53.
Hot lunches are ordered based on the number of people that support the center regularly and are served at 11:30, on a first come, first serve basis. The lunch tickets are limited to the number of meals ordered for any given day. Be sure to sign in daily by 10:30 to get yours before they are all gone. You must sign in and have a ticket to receive a meal. Please do not sign other people on the meal list unless they are in the building. We cannot hold meals for people who have a ticket and are not present at the time lunch is served. No lunches will be served after 12:00.
**If you receive frozen meals at your apartment, you are not eligible to receive the hot congregate meals served at the Center Dining Room.
