Weatherization

YNHA Weatherization services are mainly focused on insulation retrofits for qualifying home owners and are completed by an in-house crew consisting of four installers, two BPI Certified Auditors (one a BPI Quality Control Inspector) and a Consumer Client Educator.

Maintenance

YNHA has 7 major parks, spread throughout the lower valley.  Factor in a retirement center and several community centers as well as health and safety retrofits for some of the scattered single family homes, some as far flung as Goldendale, and the maintenance crews have their work cut out.

In addition to the housing units there are water, sewage, lighting and irrigation systems that must be maintained and operated.  Snow removal and ice mitigation in winter and grass cutting to large tree removal in summer and it’s pretty easy to understand that the YNHA maintenance department benefits from being a group with some pretty eclectic skill sets.

Logistics

YNHA relies on a mix federal, state and different private funding sources for its operations. Each of these entities have different stipulations and reporting requirements which complicates both purchasing and inventory control.

In 2002 YNHA undertook the ambitious project of building an eleven thousand square foot warehouse to facilitate the orderly delivery of materials and supplies within the organization. Owing to the foresight of Clarence Moy, head of what was at the time the YNHA construction department, a system of radiant heating was installed providing superior heating compared to other types of heating systems at a fraction of their operating costs.
