One Stop-Shop Opens up for Huntsville Housing Authority Residents

It was a full house event. Vital services to improve the public housing residents' quality of life will be available under one roof. Representatives from several agencies attended the opening ceremony. Among the entities joining are Big Brothers Big Sisters of North Alabama, Community Action Partnership Stepping Stone Inc., Wellstone Behavioral Health, and 4Sight Inc.

The Huntsville Housing Authority celebrated the opening of its One-Stop Shop, a community center with several social service agencies that will be available in assisting public housing residents to become employable and to live independently.

One-Stop Shop is partnering with community agencies to provide valuable needed services to assist individuals, families, elderly, disabled and youth to become self-sufficient; improve access to job opportunities through information sharing; and coordinate with community and state agencies.

The community center is located on Clinton Avenue. These efforts will provide more opportunities to public housing residents living in the Butler Terrace, L. R. Patton, Johnson Towers and Brookside communities by offering access to vital services locally, without having to travel long distances to various different agencies.
