The BHA is a proactive housing authority.   We both lead and collaborate with other agencies to implement programs that promote the availability and safety of affordable housing and that help residents improve their quality of life and move to self-sufficiency.   Some of the many initiatives in which BHA is or has been involved include:

• The ongoing development of affordable single-family homes that working Brockton families can rent or own, and that help bring about neighborhood revitalization
  
• After-school education programs and summer programs; for example, a summer karate clinic offered to kids in collaboration with the Brockton Police Department
  
• Modernization of BHA developments on an ongoing basis
  
• Resident hiring programs that provide jobs at BHA for our residents
  
• Resident governance programs that provide residents with a means to influence BHA policies and programs
  
• Assistance and support directed to elderly and disabled residents provided by our professional Service Coordinators
  
• Our Family Self Sufficiency program that helps BHA residents gain knowledge and skills to improve education and earning power, and ultimately lead independent lives
  
• Internal initiatives that include staff development and technology improvements 
  
• Collaborative initiatives with government and private organizations that help improve housing and financing availability

• Safety initiatives that include neighborhood crime watch programs, community policing programs and security system upgrades
