Hand in hand with BHA’s mission to provide affordable housing, is its commitment to helping residents on the path towards self-sufficiency. The Authority’s Resident Services department is a hub for information, opportunities and services that help residents overcome obstacles and reach their goals. Faced with the challenge of limited federal resources, the Resident Services Department works to find creative solutions to make assistance available in areas such as: education, credit and finances, computers, homeownership, employment opportunities and job training.

Within the department, BHA resources include:

• The Resident Employment Center
• Computer Learning Centers
• Case Management Services for the elderly or people with disabilities
• A Resident Association Liaison
• Family Self-Sufficiency Coordinator

BHA partners with community groups and agencies to periodically offer a variety of programs and classes at the Gary Crooks Community Center. Some of these courses include General Education Diploma (GED) assistance, Homeownership courses and Credit Counseling workshops.

BHA also works closely with organizations in the area to ensure the availability and delivery of important services. Click here to find out more about our partners and their services.
