Tips for a Lower Power Bill this Winter!

Always wear socks. If your feet are cold, the rest of your body will be cold.

Close your curtains when it's dark outside. Curtains keep your heat from escaping through the window panes.

Lower your thermostat in the winter while sleeping or away at work. By keeping your thermostat 10
degrees lower for 8 hours of the day, you can save up to 10 percent.

Close off unused rooms.

Add humidity. By adding humidity, it puts moisture
back in the room and makes it feel warmer longer.

Attention Residents!

Emergencies arise when residents and/or HA staff are faced with a health or life-threatening situation, or there is a condition that might result in serious structural or system damage if not corrected immediately. Emergencies will fall into one of two categories; 1) those happening during the regular workday or 2) those that occur after hours or on weekends. If you would like to see a list of what is considered an emergency, please visit: MonroeHousing NC.com/Maintenance

MHA Parking Enforcement

MHA enforces a strict parking policy. All residents with vehicles parked on MHA property must have a parking permit displayed at all times. All cars should pull into a parking space, and all vehicles in violation of the Monroe Housing Authority parking policy are subject to being towed.
