Congratulations to Patti Penn for a 20th Work Anniversary!

At IHA, we strive to bring out the best in our employees, but the true gift is finding employees who can do the same for us. We are excited to recognize Patti Penn for 20 years of employment with IHA. 


Patti joined IHA on December 1, 2002, as a property manager at Washington Ridge Apartments in Frostburg, Maryland.  Prior to working for IHA, Patti worked for Humphrey Management at the very same property for 8 years. 


During Patti’s tenure, she was also the Family Coordinator for IHA with our Self Help Housing Program in Allegany County.  In 2012, Patti was responsible for the lease up of Penn Avenue Townhomes in Cumberland, Maryland and served as the first property manager there.  In 2019, Patti transitioned to the Supportive Services Coordinator role, building upon the strong relationships she had developed with tenants at Washington Ridge and Penn Ave. 



Patti, we can never tell you enough how much your contributions impact IHA in both big and small ways. Your support and dedication make IHA, and everyone who works here, stronger and happier. Your impact on families in Allegany County for the last 20 years serve as your legacy. We are so proud to have you as part of our work family. Congratulations on 20 years!

Alice Buchanan moved from Frederick, MD to North Carolina to take care of her daughter, Angela, who had kidney failure. Angela was in the Navy and served for 20 years when she retired. Upon Angela’s death, Alice stayed in North Carolina to raise her daughter’s children. When the children became adults, Alice wanted to come back “home” to Frederick, MD. Alice was looking for an apartment, so she asked her friend who was living in Frederick to help her with her search. Her friend connected Alice to Weinberg House. As soon as Alice heard there was a vacant unit she immediately returned to Frederick. Alice Buchanan moved into Weinberg House on May 12, 2015. Other than Alice, there is only one other person who has lived at Weinberg House since Alice moved in.
