HAPPY NEW YEAR!
We are excited about serving all of our residents this New Year. We are focused on first class customer service, kindness and leadership. There are a few new property enhancements we are working on this year. I will keep you updated. Meanwhile, have a blessed and wonderful New Year!
When you receive your Annual Recertification packet in mail from Section 8, please bring your completed packet to our office so that we can make a copy and send to Section 8. You will no longer have to take a copy to the Section 8 Office.
If you have a checking or savings account, HUD now requires your last 6 checking account statements and 1 (current) savings account Statement. We must have the bank statement copies when it is time for you to recertify. You can place the bank statements in your recert packet. Please make sure you receive paper statements from your bank.
Community Information Reminders
- 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.
- Call Animal Control when you see stray dogs in the community. Animal Control's phone number is 205-591-6522.
- Call the police when you see suspicious people on the property.
- Drive the correct way on our one-way streets. Please make sure your guests are driving in the right direction.
- Make sure your patios are neat and clean on the front and back.
- Do Not collect cans. Collecting cans causes pests. Discard any cans being collected immediately.
- Apartments must be clean.
We must work together on the above items as a community.
Erica Leonard,
Property Manager

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.
