Last Friday, Congresswoman Maxine Waters joined Housing Authority of The City of L A President & CEO Doug Guthrie at HACLA’s Avalon Gardens public housing community to distribute UHC’s cloth masks to residents. HACLA has received 25,000 masks from UHC so far, and thousands more masks are coming soon.

Last month, CLPHA helped to link UnitedHealthcare Community & State to 45 CLPHA and MTW Collaborative member public housing authorities, including the Housing Authority of the City of Los Angeles, so that UHC could send the PHAs washable cloth masks manufactured by clothing company Hanes. To date, UHC has distributed over 200,000 masks to PHAs.

“CLPHA applauds Congresswoman Waters for taking time out of her busy schedule to bring UHC’s masks to HACLA residents, an act that demonstrates her continued commitment to public housing residents,” said CLPHA Executive Director Sunia Zaterman. “Over the course of her career, millions of low-income Americans have had a place to call home.”

Thanks to the generosity of UnitedHealthcare Community & State, 45 CLPHA member PHAs will receive a total of 176,000 non-surgical, washable cloth masks, manufactured by clothing company Hanes, to share with their communities during the COVID-19 pandemic.

PHAs requested these masks to provide to staff, seniors, and other residents in order to help keep them safe during the COVID-19 pandemic. They will take immediate action to distribute them quickly as part of their broader COVID-19 response efforts.

CLPHA extends our deepest thanks to UnitedHealthcare for its generosity during these difficult times, and we look forward to strengthening our continued partnership that connects health and housing systems in order to better serve the nation’s most vulnerable populations.
