Program Offerings
After School Homework Support Program
New Bedford Housing Authority after school homework programs help elementary school-age students focus on the completion of their homework assignments in a quiet, supportive environment. We also provide tutors that help with assignments that the student is struggling with. Computers, printers, resources and materials are available to participating students. Parents are also provided with family engagement support and the opportunity to have an advocate in their Resident Services Coordinator who will help them connect to their child’s school and teachers, ensuring a strong home school connection in support of the student learning outside of school.
