Special Notice from Lamoille Housing Partnership (LHP)
and Alliance Property Management, Inc. (APM)
March 13, 2020, MORRISVILLE, VT:
To our Residents, Staff, Board Members, Colleagues and Friends:
As we all prepare for the COVID-19 virus to reach our part of the world, I want to let you know that LHP and APM will continue to work with your health and safety as our highest priority, while still maintaining a high level of services for our residents and properties.
We are continuing to review and thoughtfully assess the information we receive from the Vermont Department of Health as well as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and are developing policies and procedures accordingly to make sure we do our part to prevent the spread of the virus at our housing sites and in our main office.
Currently, we are determining best practices for the needs and welfare of our residents and staff. Our goal is to respond in a responsible manner that provides protection, while allowing us to do our jobs for our residents.
We urge you all to take action to prevent the spread of the virus in our communities, including…
extra hand washing and cleaning / disinfecting of surfaces
staying home as much as possible
avoiding crowds and social distancing
…and we encourage you to utilize the Vermont Department of Health and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention resources to learn about state and federal COVID-19 health and safety advisories.
Our property management partner, Alliance Property Management, Inc. has set up measures to ensure and protect the safety of our residents, and their office and maintenance staff.
Our Support And Services At Home (SASH) coordinator is establishing protocols to help prevent spread of the virus. SASH will not be conducting programming at LHP housing sites, but will continue visiting individuals in their apartments as the need arises. Universal precautions will be observed by SASH staff.
At LHP’s office, we are monitoring the situation and taking steps to work remotely. We will notify you if and when we decide to close our typically low traffic office.
Please watch for notices and communications within the coming days, as we will be rolling out more specific actions on our part.
Lastly, we ask that you pay attention to your neighbors and help each other out! This will surely be a difficult period of time when we will feel alone, isolated, and frightened. Despite the need to take precautions, we also must to be aware of our neighbors and reach out to others. Kindness and compassion will be more important than ever.
Thank you, and take care.
