Pinellas County Housing Authority (PCHA) will host a workshop to introduce prospective landlords to the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) Program on Wednesday, September 14, 2011 at 3:00 pm. Property owners with available rentals in PCHA’s area of operation, which include unincorporated Pinellas County and the cities of Largo, Oldsmar, Tarpon Springs, Dunedin, Kenneth City, Bellair, Palm Harbor, Pinellas Park, Safety Harbor, and Seminole, who are interested in finding our more about the HCV programs and how to participate, are invited to attend.

Father’s Focused on Families Event

We hosted our first Father’s Day event centered around children of our communities either in affordable or public housing, or housing choice voucher holders. The event was dedicated to celebrating the relationship between a father and his child and the importance of that very special bond. The event took place on Saturday, June 18 from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at 11443 Ulmerton Road in Largo, Florida.

There were crafts, games, vendors, food, prizes and lots of fun for Dad to particpate with his children. State Representative Darryl Rouson was the keynote speaker of the event. There were also resources for entrepreneurship, health and wellness education, job training, education information as well as a moon bounce house, face painting and free haircuts!

This event was part of a national initiative prompted by HUD and influenced by a New York City Housing Authority who launched a similar successful event last year.
