Dear Friends,
As you know, this has been a very challenging time for the Lowell Housing Authority, particularly for our residents who were displaced from our City View Towers property on November 28th. Over the last few weeks, our staff have worked tirelessly to ensure that we are able to return our residents home as soon as possible. We still have more work to be done, but we are now seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. As hard as we’ve worked, our efforts pale in comparison to the overwhelming support we have received from community partners, such as yourselves, who have banded together to assist us during this crisis. On behalf of the Lowell Housing Authority, we are humbled and truly grateful for your commitment to us, and most importantly to our residents who call LHA home.

To kick off the week, the group created their own avatars for use in the program and was exposed to some basics of responsible behavior when interacting with others in online environments.
The Lowell Housing Authority’s Family Self-Sufficiency program is a goal-setting program designed to address barriers to family self-sufficiency. In partnership with the LHA, participants establish goals and along with its vast network of community partners assist families in meeting these goals. Past participants have gone on to further their education, improve their credit, increase their earnings through job training, or purchase a car or home.
Throughout their time in the program, Nadode and Michael worked diligently to create opportunities for their families, including improving their credit, establishing savings and checking accounts, and shared the ultimate goal of purchasing their own homes. We are thrilled that this is a new reality for both these families. We are so proud of both of them and all that they’ve accomplished. Congratulations Michael and Nadode!
