9 Kirtland Family Housing held an interactive service dog educational event for base housing officials May 25, 2021, at Kirtland AFB, N.M., featuring trainers and canines from Assistance Dogs of the West, a nonprofit organization based in Santa Fe, N.M.
The presentation, by Linda Milanesi, CEO and president of ADW, covered the extensive requirements candidate dogs must complete in their 18-24 months of training to qualify under the auspices of Assistance Dogs International, a coalition of not-for-profit organizations that train and place assistance dogs.
Attendees learned the differences between emotional support animals – family pets that may or may not be trained in obedience – and service dogs, which are professionally trained and certified to perform tasks for people who need them, under the Americans with Disabilities Act and New Mexico Service Animal Act.

Albemarle County’s Office of Housing and Virginia Supportive Housing have signed a Memorandum of Understanding with an intent to award project-based vouchers for 80 units of permanent supportive housing at Premier Circle.
This agreement supports and further advances the long-term goals of both agencies to provide safe, affordable housing to those who are most in need and services through permanent supportive housing for homeless and low-income individuals. The PBVs also allow VSH to be more competitive when applying for Low Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC) which will make the project more financially feasible for VSH.
