The Happy Home Academy or HHA is a housing association that rates players' houses. One of its representatives is Lyle, who works as a consultant at Nook's Homes. The HHA is unlocked once the player has upgraded from the tent to a house. The player will receive a letter from the Happy Home Academy in their mailbox.
Purpose
The Happy Home Academy, formerly known as the Happy Room Academy, is an organization that rates the houses of its members. A villager is automatically registered as a member once they get a house. To encourage members to improve their homes, the Happy Home Academy offers exclusive gifts to members that reach certain score milestones. Every town has a HHA representative, which will give members information about their score and advice on improving their rating. Finally, the HHA also runs the Happy Home Showcase, where members can examine the interior design of members from other towns, as well as order furniture they find in the model houses at a price slightly higher than normal.
