The Social Services Department provides a wide range of services that address the health, financial and emotional needs of all housing authority residents and program participants. These services help maintain independence, promote family self-sufficiency and improve the overall quality of life. The department also provides social services to senior citizens living in other buildings outside of the Housing Authority through a partnership with the Wharton Senior Housing Complex.  We also provide social service assistance to participants of the Family Self-Sufficiency and Housing Choice Voucher Home Ownership Programs.
