CLPHA Executive Director Sunia Zaterman Praises Waters’ Commitment to Public Housing
Last Friday, Congresswoman Maxine Waters joined Housing Authority of the City of Los Angeles President & CEO Doug Guthrie at HACLA’s Avalon Gardens public housing community to distribute UHC’s cloth masks to residents. HACLA has received 25,000 masks from UHC so far, and thousands more masks are coming soon.
Thanks to the generosity of UnitedHealthcare Community & State, 45 PHAs will receive a total of 176,000 non-surgical, washable cloth masks, manufactured by clothing company Hanes, to share with their communities during the COVID-19 pandemic.
CLPHA is monitoring news coverage about COVID-19. We encourage PHAs to refer to HUD’s COVID-19 webpage and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)’s website for information and updates about COVID-19, and to contact your state and local health departments for additional guidance.
