Stability Promoting Services. Because a stable home is just the first step to a productive and healthy life, APAH’s Resident Services program provides additional support to our residents. In addition to offering safety-net services like food distribution, eviction prevention, and connecting residents to emergency funding, APAH also supports residents by offering opportunities to improve their employment, education, and financial stability.
Addressing Community Challenges. Immigrants, low-income workers, and individuals with special needs all depend on programs and services slated for deep cuts. APAH is responding to this very real anxiety through education and advocacy. We have partered with the ACLU and Casa Virginia to offer eight workshops to help immigrant parents and their children better protect themselves and their loved ones. With our residents and other service providers, APAH is leading a new coalition to identify needs and make sure all of our voices are heard as Arlington sets priorities and makes decisions.
Our resident services programming relies on partners and volunteers.
