The Wellesley Housing Authority provides numerous services to members of its housing community through the efforts of a Resident Service Coordinator.
The Resident Service Coordinator works with many local service organizations such as the Wellesley Council on Aging, the Friendly Aid Society, the Rotary Club, Wellesley Service League, The Wellesley Board of Health and volunteers from Babson College to provide family and individual assistance in direct one on one contact, as well as to plan for future needs of Wellesley Housing Authority residents.
The Resident Service Coordinator meets with elderly residents the first three Tuesdays of each month. These meetings take place at the monthly residents meetings which are usually held in the local community room of each property. Monthly, residents are also provided with a "Resident Times" news letter. The newsletter provides meeting dates and lists activities for that month.
The Resident Service Coordinator plays a large role in assisting WHA youths also . Among other services, the Resident Service Coordinator sets up after school homework help, Summer Camp scholarships, and free beach passes.
For all residents of WHA who qualify, the Resident Service Coordinator may provide assistances in locating household furnishings, provide referrals to other agencies , and facilitate taxi vouchers and emergency food gift cards in and around the town of Wellesley.
All residents of Wellesley Housing Authority properties are strongly encouraged to take advantage of the many services provided by the Resident Service Coordinator.
