Wakeland works closely with residents to develop
effective Learning Centers in each development. These
centers provide residents with opportunities for fun,
personal growth and job skill development. Several of
the centers are Neighborhood Networks, a community-based
program funded by the U.S. Dept. of Housing and Urban
Development and designed to bring technology to affordable
housing sites.
Wakeland believes we have a responsibility
to provide more than just bricks and mortar. Youth
Programs provide education support, activities and
sports with a goal of providing positive alternatives
and strong role models for children of all ages. Adult
Programs in learning centers strive to provide people
with practical skills in computers and literacy that
will increase their financial stability.
Underlying Wakeland's resident services
is a strong belief in the potential of families living
in our housing. We seek out residents' input and guidance
in tailoring services to meet their needs and interests.
And we do so with respect and compassion.
