Resident Services

Helping Our Residents Succeed

Avenue offers programs and services to people living in our multi-family housing. These services help residents gain the education, financial know-how, and job skills they need to succeed. Our aim is to support residents in reaching their personal and professional goals.

To provide these valuable programs, Avenue works with community partners like Books Between Kids, the Children’s Museum of Houston, Common Threads, the Houston Public Library, Second Servings of Houston, With Helping Hands, and the YMCA.

For Adult Residents

We make it easy for residents to know what’s available by delivering program schedules directly to their doors each month and posting them in shared community areas. Best of all, these programs are completely free for residents to join. Services may vary depending on location.

Onsite Little Free Libraries

  • A Little Free Library is a “take a book, return a book” free book exchange, playing an essential role in children’s literacy by providing 24/7 access to books in communities where books are scarce.
Volunteers Needed
Volunteers are always needed and appreciated to help with food distribution, classrooms and other events.

Many of our programs would not be successful without the time and energy donated by volunteers. Contact 832.479.7494 or residentservices@avenuecdc.org for volunteer opportunities.
