MORGAN TAYLOR, HAA Staff
A
number of Houston-area apartments were without water for days following the winter freeze. Some went weeks without water. When one apartment in particular made headline news, the Houston Apartment Association stepped in. What did we do? We called a long-time HAA supplier partner. HAA is a resource and a community partner to Houston-area apartments. Calling in a favor from a supplier partner isn’t something we typically do for our members, but we were happy to be able to help. Was the damage caused by Winter Storm Uri inevitable? Yes. Was it preventable? Also, yes. More importantly, there are ways apartment owners, operators and onsite teams can help the people who service your apartments so that they can work more efficiently. May 2021
