A story published in the Houston Chronicle describes HCHA’s efforts to help its zero income clients find employment and the resources they need to become economically independent. The housing authority hopes to begin a Family Self-Sufficiency program in 2014 to provide a wider range of resources and assistance to clients who want to increase their incomes.
Participants in HCHA’s Housing Choice Voucher Program are able to lease anywhere within HCHA’s service area. This housing choice also gives families the opportunity to choose neighborhoods with great schools. To view a ranking of schools within the Houston area, visit the Children at Risk 2013 school ranking results.
Starting in April 2014, the HCHA office will be open on Fridays 8am to 5pm for document drop-off only. Clients may still make appointments to meet with their case managers Monday through Thursday 8am to 5pm.
Even though open enrollment is over, you can still enroll in Medicaid or find more information about your healthcare options at www.healthcare.gov. Those looking for local assistance understanding the new healthcare law and insurance options can find local resources by visiting www.localhelp.healthcare.gov.
