Supportive Services Specialist VISTA
 
 
 
The Housing Authority of the City of Brownsville is a non-profit organization with a mission to provide access to affordable, quality housing, and achieve self-sufficiency through education and collaborative partnerships, for all residents of our community. The main focus of the Supportive Services Department (SSD) is education, digital literacy, financial literacy, health & wellness, and employment. The SSD believes that by improving households' outcomes related to employment and income, health, and children's education, citizens will become self-sufficient, allowing them to rise above poverty. The SSD is a VITA site with four opportunity centers and two BiblioTechs. The SSD provides after-school/out-of-school programs, where we provide tutoring, mentoring, workshops, and summer learning for grades K-12. The SSD also has a Youth Leadership and Internship Program, and a Road to College Program to encourage young adults to achieve a higher education.
