This meeting is to explain the intent of the St. Charles Parish Housing Authority to establish a mandated “Smoke Free Policy and Environment” within 18 months. Smoking will be prohibited throughout all public housing properties, in the units and within 25 feet of SCPHA buildings or other properties.
