30 Years Ago: Southern Ute Housing Authority (SUHA) staff proudly displays their “IHA’s with 10%” certificate of appreciation signed by Grady Franklin Maples, Regional Administrator Regional Housing Commission. The Southern Ute Public Housing Authority was one of six Housing Authorities to receive this certificate. These IHA’s in Regional VIII have decreased their TAR’s by 10 percent or more from October 1, 1987 to September 30, 1988. This remarkable achievement means that the IHA’s also have funds to achieve their other goals. These IHA’s are quickly becoming some of the best HIS in the Region. Congratulations to the Housing staff: Robert Erickson, Lark Goodtracks, Leona Brown, Tina Rock and other Housing staff members.
