🎉 **Exciting News for the Alexandria Housing Authority!**

We are proud to share that the Alexandria Housing Authority was recognized with a **2026 NAHRO Community Innovation Award of Merit** during this past week's national conference in Denver, Colorado!

The award recognizes **Together Tuesday**, a Facebook Live initiative developed by our Resident Services team to keep residents and the community informed, engaged, and connected. Through these segments, we've shared valuable resources, highlighted community partnerships, introduced programs and services, and provided a closer look at the work we do at AHA.

We are honored to receive this national recognition! It reflects our agency's commitment to finding creative ways to connect with and better serve our residents and community.
