Community Programs
The GHA Family Self-Sufficiency Program (FSS) is available at Pear Leaf. The FSS program offers opportunities for residents to improve their economic future. FSS coordinates education, training and job placement programs to help residents become more economically self-sufficient. There are currently six families in the FSS program and four families have an escrow account established.
Resident Services provides referrals for emergency assistance to residents of all communities who are in need of assistance with rent, utilities, food and transportation. A Resident Services Coordinator provides technical assistance to all Resident Councils.
