Resident Services

The Resident Service Coordinator (RSC) for the Wellesley Housing Authority provides a connection between residents and the support services within Wellesley and neighboring communities. The RSC is here to assist WHA residents with programs and services such as education (Adult Education, English as a Second Language, College, Trade Schools); child care; health care; wellness; nutrition and meals; continued independent living; money management (savings and budgeting); transportation; and case management. The RSC is here to address the main needs and difficulties of residents who might have the potential of jeopardizing tenancy.

Through case management services and goal identification, the RSC will aim to enhance residents’ quality of life by sustaining effective partnerships with other agencies in the community such as Wellesley Council on Aging; Friendly Aid Society; Rotary Club; Wellesley Service League, and Wellesley Board of Health. The RSC is committed to assist residents by linking them to additional services and resources to help individuals and families thrive.

All residents of Wellesley Housing Authority properties are strongly encouraged to take advantage of the many services provided by the Resident Service Coordinator, 781-235-0223.

Lessons are held weekly throughout the summer, and all costs are covered for participating WHA families.
