Yard of the Month Award Program

The Albany Housing Authority is pleased to announce the Yard of the Month award program again, to show their appreciation and to recognize those who demonstrate superior effort in maintaining their yard and living space, and who, as a result, positively contribute to the overall appearance of their neighborhood. The program will award winners on April 29, 2022, May 27, 2022, and on June 30, 2022 in one development per month.
