What Our Participants Say?

Patricia A. H. Home
“I don’t know where my family would be without the support and services that the Housing Authority offered. They helped us find a home for all of us and made my struggles a bit easier, so me and my kids wouldn’t have to wonder if we were going to have to survive on the streets during [Covid-19 pandemic] what is going on right now. I am truly grateful for the support and how they helped me and my kids.”
DHA Participants
“The HCV has truly been a blessing to me and my adult children over the years. I’m grateful for the years I had assistance while raising my children.”
DHA Participants
“Really enjoyed the opportunity to attend the 2021 Contracting Open House. Thank you for the invitation and the technical sign-up support I received from Ms. Jiles, fantastic customer service from you team!”
Prospective Partner
“I would just like to tell DHA, FSS and the Homebuyers club thank you for having these programs and education for people like me that otherwise won’t have these opportunities. Thank you for the chance to move forward because it really impacted me and my son’s quality of life.”
DHA Participants
I am thankful to have been a part of DHA’s HCV program since 2000. This program has helped me through a bad time in life as a single mother of 6 children. I was able to attend school, graduate from college, obtain stable income as well as a good paying job now. I like to say thank you to Loretta Owens and my current technician Nelva Munoz. I appreciate you for all your kind words of encouragement, assistance, and making sure I was always on tasks with the program. I was able to accomplish so much by being on this program. It has been a journey for me and my children. I’m able to leave a legacy for my children because of your assistance.

I have recently just purchased at home and I wanted to notify you and your team of my leave. I plan to leave the residents at the end of the month, May 3st 2022. I also wanted to take this opportunity to express my gratitude for all your services since I first moved to your resident homes. I have received good service, with kindness and patience. Thank you for all you have done for me. Thanks again!
