The Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) provides eligible households with help in paying winter heating bills. The program pays benefits of fixed amounts based on household income and size. LIHEAP operates between November 1st and April 30th, offering financial assistance to residents who are at or below 200% of the federal poverty guidelines.

Now that our association's new year has begun, it's time for everybody to renew their dues!

Everyone should renew their memberships by the date of our annual meeting in October, otherwise your membership will lapse and you will lose voting privileges in the association.

With the nicer weather, we've had an uptick in thefts from cars in the neighborhood. Car breakins sometimes happen even when no valuables are visible, so please make sure to bring your valuable items, including portable electronics such as phones, iPods, and GPS receivers, inside your home once you've parked.

If you see suspicious activity, keep out of the way but discreetly pay attention so you could describe the person or group of people; then call 9-1-1 to report the activity.

Due to the recent rain amounts and given the likelihood of additional rains, area residents are asked to be highly suspicious or cautious of any individual or individuals wishing to gain access to their home. If a person, is claiming to be an employee of the Water and Sewer Commission or the Water Disaster Department is attempting to gain entry into your home do not allow them to come in. In the event that this occurs you are to urge to immediately call 911.
