The City of Beacon Housing Authority has been awarded the Resident Opportunity Self Sufficiency [ROSS] grant from the US Department of Housing and Urban Development.
The purpose of the grant is to connect tenants of public housing
authorities with services and activities to achieve economic and housing
self sufficiency. This purpose is two-fold, as the program will work
with families and elderly or persons with disabilities.
The work with families will include services helping families
increase earned income thus reduce or eliminate the need for public
assistance. For the elderly and persons with disabilities, the program
is designed to improve living conditions to allow for independent
living.
If you, your family or anyone you know is a Beacon Housing Authority tenant and can benefit from the program, call the BHA at 845-831-1289.
