"ERDA is working to ensure that public housing is a place of promise and opportunity in which residents can achieve their goals--whether they wish to go to college, own their own home, or find a better job. Our comprehensive approach harnesses existing resourses and gives residents the tools they need to break the cycle of poverty."
