A Message from our Director...
Jeanne Leick, Executive Director
In 2021 the ALHRA was awarded a $3.5 Million grant from Minnesota Housing to fix the façade of Shady Oaks and install security cameras. Staff published an RFQ for Architect & Engineering services and received a proposal from Widseth. After review with HUD, staff will move forward with the project which is planned for completion in 2023.
Other activities at Shady Oaks include bingo in the community room on Wednesdays and Saturdays at 6:00 p.m. The Resident Council also purchased board and yard games that can be checked out as well. There is a grill and community garden on the back patio. Every Thursday from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. public health has staff in the conference room to assist tenants.
I wanted to take time to thank members of the community, the Board of Commissioners and the staff at ALHRA for their support during my time at the ALHRA. The staff and Board of Commissioners has accomplished a lot in the last 2.5 years and will continue the mission of providing affordable housing in the community.
