Other organizations in the category were honored with Awards of Merit, but HACM was the only one to receive an Award of Excellence. Jackie Burrell and HACM staff attended the ceremony. Mr. Pérez informed the Commissioners about a recent All Staff training about the Violence Against Women Act. When the Act recently went through some changes, it made sense to refresh staff on the Act. The Health Department also spoke about what to look for and how to help if staff suspect domestic violence. The Resident Advisory Board members were also invited to attend. Mr. Pérez also spoke about Bublr Bikes. There is a new Bublr Bike station at the Hillside development, at Sixth Street and Galena, and it is hoped that other Bublr stations will be placed at more HACM developments. HACM and Bublr are looking at ways to cover some of the costs for HACM residents.
