The quorum of “yes” votes by the Housing Authority board of directors enthusiastically supported the “Jewels” new life and it is our pleasure to serve within the community and Fayette County.
A special, “thank you,” to our distinguished Commissioners, Mr. Vicites, Mr. Lohr, Ms. Zimmerlink and our elected local and state representatives. They were very supportive and shared positive sentiments about White Swan. As the caregivers and anchors within Fayette County, their timeless goals are always promoting a successful future for the County, looking towards the horizon and the next generation’s prosperity.
The FCHA considers all of our Residents to be special and deserving of a happy life. Within the country, there are 1300 units and hundreds of section eight vouchers that rely on monetary funding to avoid becoming homeless and suffering hardships. The Housing Authority and the Board will continue to be diligent and seek financial support for those in need.
