Yes! Through our Client Support & Empowerment team and community partners, THA offers a variety of programs that support children, youth, and families. These programs help young people succeed academically, build positive relationships, and access enriching opportunities that support their long-term well-being.
Programs available at THA communities include summer camps with free lunches, after-school activities, educational enrichment programs, mentorship opportunities, arts and STEM programming, and social-emotional learning activities. Many of these programs are offered in partnership with local nonprofits and community organizations that bring specialized services and expertise to our properties.
THA also works to remove barriers that can make it harder for families to thrive. Through our Client Services & Empowerment team, residents can access school supplies, referrals to community resources, family support services, and connections to educational and employment opportunities.
Our goal is to ensure that children and families have more than just a stable place to live. We strive to create opportunities for residents to learn, grow, connect with their community, and build a strong foundation for future success.
