Non-Smoking Policy

Effective October 1, 2013, all HASBARCO properties within the Public Housing Program were designated as non-smoking. Smoking is not permitted inside a building or unit. Smoking is not permitted within 20 feet of any HASBARCO building.

However, effective January 15, 2016, smoking is not permitted inside a building or unit. Smoking is not permitted within 25 feet of any HASBARCO building. HASBARCO will have any designated smoking area moved to 25 feet of any HASBARCO building and its common areas both indoor and outdoor.

Our high-rise locations have designated smoking areas with signs posted. Other properties are spread over large areas, so the 25-foot rule applies; however, no specific designated smoking areas are established. If a resident is uncertain of the smoking area for their property, he or she should check with property management staff.
