A Mission of Help and Hope
HAAM is providing essential social and community services to an inevitably growing number of people needing support during the current COVID-19 crisis. As the pandemic creates widespread impacts and change within every sector of our society and communities, organizations like HAAM need and want to remain on the front lines. Now more than ever, the services we provide must be available to our neighbors who were already living on the brink and struggling to make ends meet before the outbreak of the virus, as well as those who will find themselves seeking assistance for the very first time.
A Mission of Help and Hope
HAAM is an interfaith organization that helps community residents in crisis by providing essential resources to move toward self-sufficiency.
Helping Northeast Houston every day.
How We Serve
We offer a wide range of services to residents in the Northeast Houston Area including:
HAAM’s Self-sufficiency program builds upon the stabilization achieved through the Basic Needs program and offers services designed to help clients build life and employment skills. Services also support a client's desire to lessen and ultimately eliminate their dependence upon social service organizations. Through the self-sufficiency program clients are able to access the Employment Center, which helps unemployed and underemployed persons find work, improve job skills and seek advanced career opportunities.
The Employment Center provides one-on-one assistance with trained volunteers who offer practical suggestions to employment problems. Services include resume-building, interview coaching and job search assistance. Another feature of the Self-Sufficiency program is Career Solutions, an initiative offered through a partnership with Lone Star College which provides tuition assistance and assistance with books and supplies to clients to complete certification programs (e.g. Certified Nursing Assistant, Phlebotomy, Culinary Arts and Dental Assistant training programs).
