Power of Attorney
Know all by these presents, that the undersigned hereby makes,
constitutes and appoints
Wade Drew Hammond acting singly, and with full power of substitution
and re-substitution,
the undersigned's true and lawful attorney-in-fact
(each of such persons and their substitutes
being referred to herein as the "Attorney-in-Fact"), with full power
to act for the undersigned and in the undersigned's name, place and stead,
in any and all capacities, to:
1. Prepare, execute, and submit to the Securities and Exchange Commission
("SEC") a Form ID, including amendments thereto, and any other documents
necessary or appropriate to obtain codes and passwords enabling the
undersigned to make electronic filings with the SEC of reports required
 or considered by the Attorney-in-Fact to be advisable under Section 13
 or Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act")
or any rule or regulation of the SEC;
2. Prepare, execute and submit to the SEC, Elme Communities (the "Company"),
and/or any national securities exchange on which the Company's securities are
listed any and all reports (including any amendments thereto) the undersigned
is required to file with the SEC, or which the Attorney-in-Fact considers it
advisable to file with the SEC, under Section 13 or Section 16 of the
Exchange Act or any rule or regulation thereunder, or under Rule 144
under the Securities Act of 1933 ("Rule 144"), with respect to the any
security of the Company, including Forms 3, 4 and 5, Schedules 13D and 13G,
and Forms 144; and
3. Obtain, as the undersigned's representative and on the undersigned's
behalf, information regarding transactions in the Company's equity securities
from any third party, including the Company and any brokers, dealers,
employee benefit plan administrators and trustees, and the undersigned
hereby authorizes any such third party to release any such
information to the Attorney-in-Fact.
The undersigned acknowledges that:
a) This Power of Attorney authorizes, but does not require,
the Attorney-in-Fact to act in his or her discretion on information
provided to such Attorney-in-Fact without independent verification
of such information;

b) Any documents prepared or executed by the Attorney-in-Fact on behalf
of the undersigned pursuant to this Power of Attorney will be in such form
and will contain such information as the Attorney-in-Fact,
in his or her discretion, deems necessary or desirable;

c) Neither the Company nor the Attorney-in-Fact assumes any liability
for the undersigned's responsibility to comply with the requirements
of Section 13 or Section 16 of the Exchange Act or Rule 144, any liability
of the undersigned for any failure to comply with such requirements,
or any liability of the undersigned for disgorgement of profits under
Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act; and
d) This Power of Attorney does not relieve the undersigned from
responsibility for compliance with the undersigned's obligations
under Section 13 or Section 16 of the Exchange Act, including,
without limitation, the reporting requirements under Section 13
or Section 16 of the Exchange Act.
The undersigned hereby grants to the Attorney-in-Fact full power
and authority to do and perform each and every act and thing requisite,
necessary or advisable to be done in connection with the foregoing, as
fully, to all intents and purposes, as the undersigned might or could
do in person, hereby ratifying and confirming all that the Attorney-in-Fact,
or his or her substitute or substitutes, shall lawfully do or cause to be
done by authority of this Power of Attorney.
This Power of Attorney shall remain in full force and effect until the
undersigned is no longer required to file Forms 4 or 5 or Schedules
13D or 13G or Forms 144 with respect to the undersigned's holdings of and
transactions in securities of the Company, unless earlier revoked by the
undersigned in a signed writing delivered to the Attorney-in-Fact.
This Power of Attorney revokes all previous powers of attorney with
respect to the subject matter of this Power of Attorney.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has executed
this Power of Attorney as of September 12, 2023.
