SUMMARY OF PROGRAM | |
The Fort Wayne Housing Authority Social Services Department strives to help its participants overcome barriers that can interfere with their ability to become truly self-sufficient. One frequently overlooked barrier to self-sufficiency is access to reliable transportation. FWHA has had the opportunity to utilize HOP funding to implement the TREAT program, which ensures that participants’ baseline transportation needs are met. This program has been coupled with a variety of services focused on better equipping participants for work and its periphery, including soft skills and financial literacy. Taken in tandem, these resources have helped participants maintain a path to self-sufficiency. | |
