November 18, 2004

The Intake Department of the Allegheny County Housing Authority held its seventh Resident Orientation for new residents of the past quarter, on Thursday, November 18, 2004. We had 13 new residents in attendance from Senior and Family Sites, 2 guests and 4 members from Corbett Resident Council.

Members of the Executive Staff were on hand to meet with the residents and speak about their department's involvement with the residents. The committee members from the Intake Department were there to help the residents feel comfortable and offer them refreshments. Nineteen door prizes were given away so that each resident and guest went home with gift.

After the presentation by the Executive Staff members, the residents were asked to introduce themselves and tell us how they like their "new home." At the closing of the orientation the residents were gathered for a "photo shoot". These pictures will be entered into an album and also will be included on the ACHA website.
