Sustainable Operations
Each BHA employee plays an important role in promoting the efficient operation of BHA's facilities as well as enhancing the well-being of BHA residents. BHA employees are therefore crucial to the agency's work toward achieving its sustainability goals.
BHA seeks to increase the efficiency of its operations while simultaneously implementing more sustainable alternatives to some of its activities. Not only will these actions result in lower energy usage and improve the appearance and maintenance of BHA properties, but they will also contribute to the resiliency of BHA as an organization. By building sustainable concepts into everyday activities, BHA staff can contribute to the long-term growth and durability of the agency.
