Seekonk Housing Authority receives funding to hire Resident Services Coordinator

Boston — Dean of the Massachusetts Senate Marc R. Pacheco (D-Taunton) announces that the Executive Office of Housing and Livable Communities has awarded a $60,000 grant for the Seekonk Housing Authority to hire a Resident Service Coordinator.

The Resident Service Coordinator is an integral piece of the property management team and links residents with community-based services to maintain and improve their quality of life, as well as collaborating with residents and local resources to build healthier, stronger communities through everything from health and wellness initiatives to workforce development.

"This position will allow the Seekonk Housing Authority to provide additional support to residents and connect them with the services in the community that can improve and enrichtheir lives,” said Senator Pacheco.

Up to $55,000 of funds will be used toward staffing, with up to $5,000 allocated for flexible funds to be used for program costs, partner payments or small costs that need to be paid to remove barriers for residents to obtain the services they need.

“I want to congratulate the Seekonk Housing Authority on their efforts to add a Resident Service Coordinator to their staff,” said Senator Pacheco. “This addition will allow SHA to enhance their service to their residents and build a stronger community.
