Community Resources Resource Engagement Housing

Summary:
The Housing Choice Voucher Program (HCV) is comprised of
elderly, disabled and low-income households. Participating
families receive assistance to afford decent and safe housing
but have other needs as well.

To help meet these needs, Housing will host voluntary
resource engagement sessions focusing on economic
empowerment, educational advancement, health and
wellness, and character and leadership.

These sessions will be hosted by Housing who will
coordinate with other providers in our community to make the
resources accessible to the families we serve.
The goal is to host quarterly resource events, open to
families assisted through the Housing Choice Voucher and
all Housing programs.
