We are very proud to announce that Gladys Sanchez, a 17-year-old resident of El Jardín, was recently selected to participate in the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute’s R2L NextGen Program this summer.

The R2L NextGen Program provides Latino high school students with the opportunity to spend a week exploring the city of Washington, D.C. and learning about its incredible role in our nation. This year the one-week program will be taking place July 26-31, 2015.

Sanchez, who is now a senior at IDEA Quest College Preparatory, has been a resident of EHA since 2007. Among her community involvement and many extra-curricular activities, she is also an active member of the EHA Youth Leadership Association and was a tutor during our Tutoring Program.

Besides being accepted into the R2L NextGen Program, this summer she has also participated in a three-week School of Medicine Scholars Program at the Saint Louis University in Missouri. During the program, she had the opportunity to learn and interact with other students, professors and medical professionals.

Inspired by her incredible experiences this summer, Sanchez hopes to serve as a role model in her community and help motivate her peers to follow their dreams.

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.
