Elizabethton Housing & Development Agency
| Rick Whitman is the Occupancy Specialist and has worked for EHDA for 17 years. He worked in the maintenance department for 6 years before becoming the occupancy specialist for the last 11 years. Rick is responsible for taking Public Housing applications, evaluating applications, sending out offers when apartments become available, lease apartments and do annual re-examinations for the residents. One of the things he likes most about his job in addition to the nice people living within the community is the different people he comes in contact with. The thing he dislikes is that we are unable to help people when they need it. Unfortunately we are not able to rent to families on an emergency basis. It usually takes a month or two to get someone a place to live and sometimes it may take longer. Rick is able to empathize with those in need of housing assistance due to his own experience with assistance when he first moved to Elizabethton. |
