Please join IHA in welcoming Gabriel Jimenez!

At the end of March, IHA will be saying goodbye to a long-time employee, Ron Morris. He is retiring and we wish him the absolute best!

We were incredibly lucky to find someone to take Ron’s place, literally in the nick of time. We knew the position would be ridiculously hard to fill as Ron is a tough act to follow. Like most nonprofit employees, Ron wore many hats, and his construction knowledge and experience is so extensive that we were sure he was virtually irreplaceable.



But then Ron recommended Gabriel Jimenez and we are glad he did! Gabriel has an impressive resume with a wide variety of construction knowledge, and he loves to teach, which will be especially helpful to our Purchase Repair Homeownership Program clients. Gabriel also has a big heart and desire to help others. He has been sharing his time and talent with Waterboyz for Jesus as a member of their SWAT (Servants With A Testimony) team to provide help to community members in need.

In addition to his position as the Construction Manager for the Purchase Repair Homeownership Program, Gabriel will also provide construction oversight for IHA’s partnerships with developers to build multi-family communities. The most recent community broke ground in June and just entered the framing stage. Located in downtown Brunswick, MD, this community (The Residences at Railroad Square) will add 45 more affordable apartments to IHA’s property management portfolio. 

But wait, that’s not all! IHA also needs construction management at our completed multi-family communities, and Gabriel will fill this role as well. Weinberg House, IHA’s very first senior apartment community, is currently undergoing extensive remodeling. Tied into this role is the need to forecast and prepare budgets for future capital improvements. A capital improvement is the addition of a permanent structural change or the restoration of some aspect of a property that will either enhance the property's overall value, prolong its useful life, or adapt it to new uses. This skill is outside the role of regular and routine maintenance.
