PHA Honored with “Most Improved PHA” Award by HAI Group

Philadelphia, PA – August 20, 2024 – The Philadelphia Housing Authority (PHA) has been awarded the “Most Improved PHA” award by the HAI Group. This honor recognizes PHA’s performance over the last three years in significantly reducing both the frequency and severity of insurance claims.

From 2020 to 2022, PHA attained a notable decline in claim frequency and severity among agencies of its size, according to HAI Group.  PHA’s Risk Management department is credited with leading the change by collaborating with various departments on safety and risk management measures.

Among the key initiatives:

– Employee Training: Comprehensive training programs have been instituted, elevating employees’ awareness and response to potential risks.
– Tool Box Talks: PHA provided timely safety reminders to maintenance staff, fostering a safer work environment.
– Continuing Fire Drills: Regular fire drills at PHA sites have enhanced preparedness and safety measures.
