The Saskatchewan Ministry of Social Services has announced appointments to the housing authority boards in Alameda and Midale.
Sherlynne Best has been reappointed as chairperson to the Alameda Housing Authority board. Other members of the board of directors are Roberta Freitag, Laura Horrocks, Herb Dietze and Edythe Workman.
The Alameda Housing Authority provides daily management of 19 housing units.
Betty Kramer and Ken Swenson, meanwhile, have been reappointed to the Midale Housing Authority Board of Directors. Other members of the board of directors are JoAnn Hauglum, Tara-Lee McIndoe and James DeBruyne. DeBruyne is chairperson.
The Midale Housing Authority provides daily management of 22 housing units.
Both authorities are community-based organizations constructed and operated under the terms of a federal, provincial and municipal cost-sharing agreement.
Social Services Minister Paul Merriman paid tribute to the volunteers who manage the social housing projects in their community.
“This local hands-on approach ensures that the Saskatchewan Housing Corporation responds effectively to the needs of each community,” said Merriman.
Saskatchewan has a network of 260 housing authorities and more than 1,400 volunteer members who assist with management of housing units throughout the province for seniors, low income families and persons with disabilities.
