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).
