  • It’s a great program! It gives residents the opportunity to be able to succeed in life. I feel now that I can not only sustain myself, but more importantly provide for my family.

    Abraham Acevedo ArandaWest Coast Arborists

  • I’m glad that there are programs like Section 3 to motivate and give residents hope. Sometimes, all we need is a chance that could change our lives forever. I can’t thank KDG, HACLA and its Section 3 Program enough. It sure has changed my life for the better!

    Rosalina AguilarKDG Consulting

  • My kids are looking up to me and I want to do something positive for myself and for them. I want them to see the good things in life as they grow up. You won’t get anywhere unless you take action and control of your life.

    Miriam PrinceCypress Security Inc.

  • My daughter is my motivation. I want to be a good example for her. The fact that the Housing Authority brings all types of resources to residents right in front of my door is very helpful for me.

    Chaunthia MahoneBest Choice Plumbing

  • I can learn something new every day. Why would I slow down? As an ex-military man I am used to being active to keep me going.

    Robert LoweLetner Roofing and Best Choice Plumbing

  • I never even imagined that I can do this kind of work. I thought it is for people with an advanced education.

    Jacqueline JonesAndersen Environmental

  • I want to leave a mark and be a role model for my siblings and the community. Instead of hanging out with friends all day long, youth should think about their future.

    Dwight ThomasGartner Inc. Workshop

  • This job changed my life in so many ways. I am thankful to both York and HACLA’s Section 3 Program for this opportunity. This gave me confidence that I am capable and can have a career.

    Dalia Leon Gomez

  • Hopefully I will save enough money in the near future and afford to buy a house. I want to make the subsidized unit available to others in need. Maybe another single mother can have a chance to better her life with this assistance.
