Housing Authority Offices Closed - July 4th

All Housing Authority offices will be closed in observance of this national holiday on Thursday July 4th, 2024. We will resume normal operation hours Monday July 8th, 2023.

The staff at Florence Housing Authority wishes you and your family a safe and exciting 4th of July holiday. The 4th of July holiday is a celebration of our becoming independent as a country on July 4, 1776.

Before you celebrate with an at-home fireworks display, please make sure you practice safety and know the laws in our county.

Remember that fireworks can pose a fire and safety hazard to those who use them. Use caution when shooting fireworks, and be sure to follow these recommended safety tips from FireworksSafety.org:

• Read cautionary labels and performance descriptions before lighting a firework
• Never give fireworks to children
• Wear safety glasses when shooting fireworks
• Use the fireworks outdoors, away from buildings and vehicles
• Dispose of fireworks safely (wet them down and place them in a metal trash can until the next day)

For anyone who is traveling this 4th of July weekend, remember to always wear your seat belt and never drink and drive – instead, call a designated driver to get you home safely. Not only do you risk your life when you drive impaired, you are putting the other drivers you share the roadway with at risk, too.

Happy 4th of July!
