The Tacoma Housing Authority (THA) is a public agency that owns over 1,500 affordable housing units and serves 11,000 people on an annual basis. Focused on providing quality housing and supportive services to people living in the Tacoma area, THA develops housing and real estate, owns and manages affordable housing units, provides rent assistance to those in need, and supportive services to ensure its tenants can succeed. Recognizing that successful schools are necessary to ensure children’s success and the creation of strong, healthy neighborhoods, THA launched its Education Project, which is now in an experimental phase. One Project initiative is a children’s savings account program, which provides students living in New Salishan with a $50 post-secondary education savings account, matched savings to incentivize family deposits, and financial literacy programs.
