Our Residents Services program helps residents gain employment, job training, more education, nutritional skills, childcare, goal setting and many other avenues, based on each family or individual’s needs. Often, it is a case of pairing residents with a particular organization to achieve their needs. For example, we work closely with organizations such as The Georgia Mountain Food Bank, United Way, local courts, schools and universities, Avita and others to encourage residents to progress toward self-sufficiency.

HOUSING CHOICE VOUCHER PROGRAM

EH’s Housing Choice Voucher Program offers families, including elderly and disabled persons and working families, the broadest range of choice in selecting where they live.  Using a Housing Choice voucher, families can identify quality housing anywhere in the city of Eatonville with the assurance that they will not have to pay more than 30 percent of their adjusted income toward rent.  

Property owners/landlords own and manage the properties and enter into landlord-tenant relationships with assisted families.
