Upon graduating from boot camp, Oros began school in Pensacola, Florida where he graduated in Decmeber with a specification in the mechanics of aviation. Currently, he is stationed in Norfolk, Virginia where he awaits for his deployment to Bahrain, Asia. Parents Leobardo Oros and Maria Elena Oros and other family members are extremely proud of Leo’s accomplishments. The family is completely supportive of his decision to enlist in the Navy, and have high hopes for his future. The Edinburg Housing Authority wishes Leo the best in his future venture as a sailor in the U.S. Navy!

About Edinburg Housing Authority

With more than 65 years of service, the Edinburg Housing Authority takes pride in providing assistance to those who need it most in the Rio Grande Valley.   As a result, throughout the years we have focused our agency’s efforts and resources to ensure struggling low-income families with an equal opportunity to obtain safe, decent and affordable public housing, and thus improve their quality of life.  But even though we help hundreds of families in need, we realize that to truly help impoverished residents rise out of poverty and better themselves our agency has to do much more than  providing them with a place to live.   As a result, in addition to providing housing for our residents we have now made it our mission to promote self-sufficiency throughout the agency and do everything in our power to help those we serve develop the necessary work skills and education to succeed and ultimately provide for their loved ones on their own.   With dedication, integrity and compassion we take pride in helping our residents each and every day. We believe and ardently hope that through every family we help we make a difference in the present and someday future of the city of Edinburg and the Rio Grande Valley.
