The family is in the process of cleaning out the unit. This tenant was a very heavy smoker and legally blind. we expect to have to do quite a bit of work in the unit, anti will probably have to replace the carpeting. As I've done with other units that have needed flooring replacement, I plan on replacing the carpet with VCT flooring. I will keep you posted on this unit turnover. Breezy Acre _ We had all rents paid in full and we are at 100% occupancy. Mi c.: 0 Following my accident, since the beginning of August I've been working from home via the Internet. I have been able to accomplish about 85-90% of ray work this way and it's been working out well. All of my work is up to date: all monthly reports have been filed, the yearend reports have been filed, all bills are being paid on a weekly basis, landlord payments have gone out on time, payrolf taxes have been filed, applications are bung processed, recertifications have been done, bank account reconciliations have been done, the septic failure at Breezy Acres has been dealt with DHD has approved emergency funding for the replacement of the system and I've contracted with A&B C:anco to do the work), the septic at Homeyer Village was excavated to remove the roots binding up the system and it has been successfully pumped, and I've rept up with miscellaneous correspondence. The only glitch that I've come across is that Alice, m assistant, deposited some rent checks to the wrong account in August. when I discovered it in September I had to transfer money between accounts to correct this mistake. I've advised Torn Joy of it, so that he can correctly account for it in his financial reports. 0 After my accident, people from Peabody Properties carne in and completely tools over Asher's Path site. The last I heard, there were only a few vacancies left at the site. Vincent is splitting his time between Asher's Path, Homeyer Village and Breezy Acres. • My Spectrum LIHT (Low Income Housing Tax credit)training has been rescheduled for December 11 and 12 in Providence, FSI. -4-
