What's New

Family Self-Sufficiency

As of spring 2009, our FSS program had 49 participants working on educational, career and homeownership goals. Story continues here...

Two new initiatives in 2009

First, our FSS program and the state's Department of Transitional Assistance began a program of jointly coordinating services to BHA residents who receive DTA cash grants. As a result, five of these residents have joined the FSS program.  

Second, our FSS program took on management of the Milton Housing Authority's FSS program. We expect 25 MHA residents to join our FSS program by the end of 2009.  

 

 

Resident Services

The BHA hosts a broad spectrum of programs that help improve the quality of life, earning potential and safety of residents.

Examples of ongoing programs include:

  • Family Self-Sufficiency, a program that helps residents get on the path to home ownership through seminars, workshops and other educational forums  
  • Crime Watch, a program that involves residents in monitoring and reporting suspicious activity to police and so make their homes and neighborhoods safer
