In a continuing effort to assist its membership, PHADA has entered into an official alliance with HD Supply, the leading supplier of maintenance repair and replacement products to owners and managers of multi-housing, lodging and commercial properties.

The two-year alliance between HD Supply and PHADA will benefit PHADA members in numerous ways. Not only will members be able to receive greatly discounted prices on the various products offered by HD Supply, the alliance stipulates that HD Supply will lend significant financial support to PHADA's Bollinger Scholarhip and Annual Convention.

The following summarizes the key commitments made between PHADA and HD Supply:

Lowest Catalog Price

• All PHADA member properties will be guaranteed HD Supply's lowest published, maximum-discount price on any item ordered from The HD Supply's national catalog. HD Supply's lowest published catalog price represents an average 14% discount from HD Supply's first-level pricing.
• HD Supply will work with each PHADA member regarding remodel projects, with discounts below HD Supply's best book price.
• HD Supply has waived its usual requirements for the PHADA members to submit individual account applications, and has opened a net 30-day account for those members that do not already have an account with HD Supply.

Another benefit to HD Supply is that this will give them a better understanding of the housing industry and thus allow them to tailor some of their offerings to meet the ever-increasing demands of housing authorities.
