U.S. Housing and Urban Development Secretary Shaun Donovan and U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs Secretary Eric K. Shinseki announced today that they will provide HUD rental vouchers and VA case management to 610 more homeless veterans - 50 in Alaska, 50 in Idaho, 185 in Oregon and 325 in Washington state.   HASCO has been awarded 75 vouchers - the largest number in the region.

HASCO has posted client success stories.  Click the success stories link to learn more about how housing has helped Charles, Wes, Jeff, and Miles.  These are only four of the over 3,000 individuals and families who benefit from Section 8 housing assistance.

The Housing Authority was presented with the United Way Gold Award for outstanding service to the people of our community.  HASCO’s staff is consistently generous in donations to United Way to help meet the needs of individuals and families in Snohomish County.  The Gold Award is given to businesses with over 50% of staff contributing to the United Way campaign and an employee per capita gift of at least $75.

HASCO is pleased to be a recipient of a Page Ahead grant which will provide 945 books to be distributed to children in all age ranges living within targeted Housing Authority properties.  These books will be distributed at three reading events occurring this year.  At each event, reading activities will be held to encourage children to learn the love of reading and to develop and strengthen literacy skills.
