Recognize this rooftop?

☀️ In May 2020, in partnership with Eagle Solar & Light, we installed a solar panel system at Freedom Manor to bring supplemental, efficient energy to the 100-unit, 5 story property built in 1960.

The Freedom Manor installation was the first project of its kind at any Public Housing Agency in the state of Alabama.

“Leadership and learning are indispensable to each other.” That’s why we’ve launched a new initiative: Demonstrating Leadership.

Throughout the initiative, our leadership team will meet with organizational leaders to learn about ways in which different individuals and places operate for the best of those they serve. As a result, our team will engage in collective professional development to gain additional tools and guidance as we continue moving the Housing Authority of the Birmingham District forward.

Our first stop in the series: City of Birmingham Government. Thank you Chief of Staff Sparks and Chief of Operations Mitchell for speaking with our staff on the ins and outs of City leadership and operations.
