North Side Elementary School visit.

A huge thank you to North Side Elementary School for taking the time to visit the children at Dunbar and Carver during summer break. The students were thrilled to see Principal Chad Moore and their teachers, who stopped by to share popsicles, books, and plenty of smiles.
The books will help encourage reading throughout the summer, and the special visit reminded our children that their school community continues to support and care about them even when classes are not in session. Seeing the excitement on their faces was truly heartwarming.
Thank you, Principal Moore and the North Side Elementary staff, for your kindness, dedication, and commitment to helping our children have a fun and successful summer. Your visit made a lasting impression and brought a lot of joy to our residents!

E. Myrtle Phase II is taking shape!

Construction is progressing steadily on the 10-unit affordable housing development designed to serve low-income families in our community. The buildings are now under roof, with roofing work underway. Interior construction continues as crews install plumbing, electrical systems, and HVAC ductwork throughout the apartments.
We are also excited for the arrival of the brick materials, which will allow work to begin on the exterior walls and further bring the vision of this development to life.

This project is made possible through our valued partnership with the Tennessee Housing Development Agency (THDA) and FAHE, whose support helps expand affordable housing opportunities within our community.

At Johnson City Housing Authority, we remain committed to increasing the availability of affordable housing and investing in developments that provide safe, quality homes for individuals and families. We are proud to be part of creating housing opportunities that strengthen our community and improve the lives of future residents. 🏠🔨✨

🎉 Congratulations to Victoria on her graduation from the Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS) Achieve Program! 🎉

Through hard work, determination, and goal-setting, Victoria successfully completed the program and achieved important personal milestones. Upon graduation, she was able to use her earned escrow funds to help make repairs and improvements to her new home. 🏡✨

We are proud of Victoria's accomplishments and excited to celebrate her success!

Interested in achieving your own goals?

FSS Achieve is a voluntary program for JCHA residents designed to help participants set and achieve personal goals that promote economic security and personal growth for individuals and families.

One of the benefits of the program is a financial incentive. When enrolled, any rent increases resulting from an increase in earned income are deposited into an escrow (managed savings) account. Once you successfully complete the program, those funds are paid directly to you.

To learn more about FSS Achieve, contact Tiffany Bernard at 423-509-2128 or email [email protected]

A big thank you to Anna and Jenny, Health Educators from the Washington County Health Department, for hosting a fun and informative event for the children at JCHA! 🎉

Through interactive lessons, activities, and engaging games, the kids learned about personal safety, being aware of their surroundings, making good choices, and other important life skills. It was a great opportunity for learning while having fun, and the children thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

We appreciate Anna and Jenny for sharing their knowledge and helping empower our youth with skills that will benefit them every day! 💙

Honoring Those Who Give Their Time…Volunteers Make it Possible

This week is National Volunteer Week, centered around the theme “Ignite Volunteerism.” It’s a reminder of the power of giving back by inspiring passion, creating positive change, and strengthening our communities through service. The theme encourages people to reconnect with local causes and recognizes the important role volunteers play in building a brighter future.

“Ignite Volunteerism” is a call to action to get involved, build connections, and make a difference. It also highlights the importance of growing community participation, supporting volunteer efforts, and sharing stories of service. Most of all, this week celebrates volunteers as the heart of our communities and honors the compassion and dedication they bring every day.

We also want to give a special thank you to our volunteers at JCHA and everyone who helps with the food pantry, food delivery, Community Events and so many other volunteer activities. Your time, effort, and willingness to serve make a meaningful impact, and we are truly grateful for all that you do. THANK YOU!

Money Monster and Games....Truist volunteers had a great time with the kids at Keystone, turning money and budgeting into a fun, hands-on experience. The kids asked thoughtful questions, shared their ideas, and really got into the activities. There were lots of smiles and plenty of learning along the way.

Thank you to Truist for spending time with our Keystone kids and helping them build smart money habits early on.

JCHA came together to recognize Human Trafficking Awareness Day by wearing blue shirts and ribbons in support of awareness and prevention. We were grateful to have Gracie from the Community Coalition Against Human Trafficking join us as we highlighted the importance of education, awareness, and taking action to reduce the vulnerabilities that can lead to trafficking and exploitation.

Our team also participated in the Red Sand Project, a visual and symbolic initiative launched in 2014 by Molly Gochman to bring attention to the ongoing reality of human trafficking and modern slavery. An estimated 50 million people worldwide are affected, including those trapped in forced labor, forced marriage, or sexual exploitation.

The grains of red sand represent individuals who fall through the cracks of our social, economic, and political systems, as well as moments when awareness is overlooked. We stand together to help ensure those cracks are seen, acknowledged, and addressed.
