The Brunswick Housing Authority would like to invite teens (ages 13-18) who live in Public Housing, are attending a Glynn County school and can verify attendance to attend this conference with sponsorship by the BHA.
The BHA will provide the conference fee which includes: meals at the conference, recreational activities, conference bag, conference t-shirt, transportation to and from Epworth for the duration of the conference, Jekyll Island Water Park tickets and transportation to and from the park on Sunday the 22nd as well as all conference materials and amenities.
This conference is intended to help provide leadership training as well as tools to encourage them to develop strategies for a successful future.
The Brunswick Housing Authority is accepting applications for its Section 8 Family Self Sufficiency (FSS) waiting list.
The FSS program allows participants to have increases in rent deposited into an Escrow Account that the BHA maintains for the 5 year FSS contract. As a household’s rent increases, client payments are still made to the landlord by the client, however, the BHA credits that difference to the household’s Escrow Account. As the family meets its goals during the 5 year contract, the balance continues to grow and upon graduation, the family is given the amount in its account. In order for a family to successfully graduate, the household must have met its goals and cannot be receiving TANF or any other welfare payments at the end of the 5 year contract.
If the family is terminated from the S8 program or the FSS program and does not graduate, the BHA absorbs any funds in that household’s Escrow Account.
To be eligible for this program you must be an active S8 participant whose household is willing to commit to seeking and maintaining employment and other betterments such as advanced education, obtaining transportation, etc.
If you are interested in participating in this program please fill out the attached questionnaire and return it to your Case Worker.
