Resident Services
Resident Services Department
PMHA’s Resident Services Department connects low- to moderate-income Public Housing residents and Section 8 Family-Self Sufficiency (FSS) Program participants with referrals and supportive services in partnership with the local community, to encourage individuals and families to reach their full potential. The Resident Services Department strives to assist participants to make progress toward economic and housing self-sufficiency, by linking them to the services that enable them to increase earned income, reduce or eliminate the need for welfare assistance, and make progress toward achieving economic independence. For elderly and disabled residents, the Resident Services Department links participants to supportive services which enable them to age/remain in-place, living independently and with improved quality of life, thereby avoiding more costly forms of care.
Service Coordination and Referrals
PMHA’s Resident Services Department offers a wide variety of services and activities to assist our residents with obtaining the needed tools and resources to facilitate self-sufficiency, success, and an improved quality of life. By collaborating with various community agencies, we focus on economic independence, education, employment, and financial literacy initiatives that benefit our resident population. Several participants in our programs have furthered their education, obtained employment that provides a comfortable living wage, became free from all forms of government assistance, and moved on to purchase their own home through PMHA’s Homeownership Assistance Program.
