DHA parents, April is Financial Literacy Month–a reminder that strong financial foundations create stronger futures.

Through DHA’s Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS) program for Housing Choice Voucher residents and the Resident Opportunity and Self-Sufficiency (ROSS) program for Public Housing residents, we connect families to financial literacy support and trusted community partners.

Residents can access guidance and resources through partners like:
• 3to1 Foundation (FSS)
• Ascend Dallas (ROSS)

From budgeting and credit-building to long-term financial planning, these programs are designed to help residents move toward greater stability and self-sufficiency.
