We recently completed this custom residence for a wonderful couple entering their next chapter, with every detail carefully considered to support comfort, safety, and independence over time. From step-free entries and wider passages to a zero-threshold shower, this home is designed to adapt as their needs evolve—without ever compromising on style.

Aging in place isn’t just about accessibility—it’s about dignity, ease, and creating a space that truly feels like home for years to come.

The new year has brought changes in staff leadership for the HBAA and the Alabama Home Builders Self Insurers Fund, as some longtime staff members have taken on new positions.

Jason Reid, formerly the HBAA's Vice President of External Affairs, officially stepped into the role of HBAA Executive Vice President on January 1.

Robyn Bailey, formerly the Accounting Manager for the Fund, is now serving as the Fund Administrator as of January 1.

Courtney Foley, who has served as the Human Resources Director for the HBAA, Fund, and Construction Claims Management, has also been promoted to the role of HBAA Administrative Vice President following the retirement of Debbie Baxley at the end of 2025.

Russell Davis, who also retired at the end of 2025 from his role as the HBAA’s Executive VP, remains on a part-time basis as a consultant for the Fund.

We are excited about the future of the HBAA and Fund under our new leadership and are confident that they will continue to build on the incredible legacy forged by Russell and Debbie in their careers.
