This past Friday, the St. Louis Housing Authority, in partnership with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and the Department of Labor’s Job Corps Program, proudly celebrated the launch of the third HUD C.A.R.E. Center.
Latasha K. Barnes, SLHA Executive Director, shared her enthusiasm for the program: "The St. Louis Housing Authority is proud to partner with HUD in identifying residents ready to take the next step toward financial independence and self-sufficiency. The HUD C.A.R.E. Program demonstrates a strong commitment to empowering public housing residents by helping them earn income and achieve financial independence. The 10 residents currently in the pipeline to be hired into the program will have secure financial futures and serve as beacons of hope, showcasing the positive impact of the HUD C.A.R.E. Center on the community."
This collaboration highlights the incredible opportunities the HUD C.A.R.E. Program creates for residents, fostering empowerment and a pathway to success.
