Great things happened at this week’s Youth Leadership Association meeting! Our students held a discussion based on the first chapter of the book 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens by Sean Covey and did a fun and interactive activity on paradigms. To encourage the students to be actively involved in their communities, Gladys Sanchez, a YLA member also did a presentation on her recent experience in a three-week medical program at the Saint Louis University in Missouri and her upcoming participating in the CHCI R2L NextGen Program in Washington, DC. Additionally, Public Housing Supervisor Liz Hernandez announced the schedule for the Summer Activities that will be offered July 6 through August 6 and invited the YLA members to volunteer. Our agency is excited for the turnout of this week’s meeting and looks forward to many more this summer.

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.
