Hello,
I am writing to announce City of Flagstaff Housing Authority's new Resident Opportunity and Self-Sufficiency program for people living in Siler Homes, Brannen Homes and scattered sites in Flagstaff. As the program coordinator, my job is to lend support to members of these communities as they complete community service requirements, seek economic independence and pursue personal goals. I see limitless opportunities for networking and coordination across services areas to strengthen resources for these members of our Flagstaff community.
The two primary ways to work together include:
1. Creating opportunities for residents of these neighborhoods to complete 8 hours of community service per month. Specifically, we need to design opportunities for single mothers with children and those with medical restrictions. Projects that can be completed at each site may be easiest for these folks. Some projects that have worked in the past include preparing mailings (stuffing and labeling envelopes) and putting together packets for conferences or events.
2. Share information about your resources with our residents! Get the word out about your services by hosting a workshop, submitting information to our monthly newsletter or developing an ongoing education program. These services can target elderly, persons living disabilities, families, and/or youth.
Our public housing neighborhoods are rich with diversity of background and perspective. I'm excited to serve as a bridge between residents and the greater Flagstaff community as I'm sure the benefits with enrich individuals and our community as a whole.
Please feel free to contact me for more information. I look forward to hearing from you!
Kind regards,
Allie Stender
