Supportive support service experience

I have loved my experience being a supportive support coordinator. I love interacting with all tenants, especially the ones at Washington Square Apartments. My experience interacting with the events committee is always the best. I also interact with a tenant from Washington square apartments every Tuesday while I am there, and I help her with phone, and she likes to talk about bingo which she loves so I don’t mind talking about it with her. This tenant does not have family members. She also doesn’t have very many friends. I can help her with any paperwork, technological help she needs that makes sure she can continue to live in income-based housing. I like to plan events for the tenants at all properties so all the kids/adults can have fun. I also like to make sure there is some type of educational thing they can learn each month.

IHA Tenant Profile: Alice Buchanan the Weinberg House

By Jodie Ostoich • June 11, 2025
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.
