The Community Services Division offers a variety of services and programs to assist families from the Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) and Project Based Voucher (PBV) Programs to increase their earned income and connect them to available resources in the community.
The Division administers five programs designed to support residents at every stage of their journey. From building job skills and financial stability to achieving homeownership, each program is designed to meet families where they are. Explore the programs below to learn how we can help.
The Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS) Program helps HCV and PBV participants set goals, build skills, and grow their earned income. Participants who increase their earnings while enrolled may accumulate escrow savings they can use when they graduate from the program.
The Multi-Family Service Program provides supportive services and resources to residents living in HACY's affordable housing developments, connecting them to community programs that support stability and quality of life.
HACY's Homeownership Programs help eligible voucher holders use their housing assistance toward purchasing a home. Participants work with housing counselors to understand the process, meet eligibility requirements, and transition from renting to owning.
The SHINE Program is an after-school sports and character education program for youth in grades three through six in high-poverty neighborhoods across the Yuma community. The program focuses on team sports, physical fitness, nutrition, and developing character traits including respect, responsibility, and leadership.
CityLINK connects HACY residents and voucher holders to transportation resources and community services in the Yuma area, helping families access employment, education, healthcare, and other critical needs.
