The Empower Project offers arts engagement workshops and leadership training initiatives to equip older adults and teenagers to deliver arts programs to residents of HOC senior communities.

The Housing Opportunities Commission (HOC) and Housing Opportunities Community Partners (HOCP) bring school supplies to hundreds of children.

The Tony S. Davis Memorial Scholarship awards made each year change lives. They fuel hope, promise and opportunity for high school graduates living in HOC communities to pursue higher education and lay the foundation for a future of growth.

Not quite a year ago in this space we proudly introduced you to the three young people pictured above, each of whom was the recipient of a 2024 Tony S. Davis Memorial Scholarship.

Our annual Tony S. Davis Memorial Scholarship Program plays a crucial role in filling the financial gaps that often remain after federal and private aid is exhausted.

Our 25th annual Back-to-School event is more than just a distribution of backpacks; it’s a community gathering that brings together families, educators, and community leaders to ensure that every child starts the school year with the tools and confidence they need to succeed.

We are proud to focus this month’s blog on two groups of customers progressing rapidly toward their brighter futures: the 2024 Tony Davis Memorial Scholarship recipients and the Family Self Sufficiency program graduates.

Our wide variety of exciting out-of-school programs and activities engage young people in the areas of Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM).

The Housing Opportunities Commission (HOC) has released its 2024-2029 Five-Year Strategic Plan, which will serve as a guide for the agency’s work over the next five years to meet the ever-increasing need for affordable housing and supportive services in Montgomery County.

As we strive to ensure all Montgomery County residents have the opportunity to live in safe, high-quality affordable housing, we work hard to create vibrant, inclusive and environmentally sustainable communities that will enhance the quality of life for our residents. 

Our history is indelibly imprinted by the contributions of their numerous women leaders over the past half-century. Taking note of their accomplishments is only fitting this March, as the nation celebrates Women’s History Month.
