Meet Eddie Fallon! Supported by Wells Fargo through LISC, Eddie, with a determined spirit, participated in training and coaching with Volunteers of America-TX - a long-time Houston FOC partner - to transform his life and set clear, ever higher goals.
Eddie Fallon’s goals were clear when he came to LISC partner Volunteers of America-Texas: he wanted to secure a stable job and save for a deposit on a new apartment. With support from Wells Fargo through LISC, VOA coaches connected Fallon to job training, plus interview and resume prep services, that helped him land a job as a forklift operator. VOA also worked with Fallon to create a budget and savings plan. Today, Fallon is living in a new apartment and driving a new car that provides reliable transportation to a new, better-paying job as a repair technician. “Having an apartment and a car [in] little less than a year of saving makes me even more determined to keep working hard and save more.” LISC Houston

On June 27, LISC Houston facilitated a highly demanded training that took the capacity audience on a deep dive into the field of affordable housing. We explored the history of affordable housing, the local affordable housing market, housing vouchers, and affordable housing financing including Low-Income Housing Tax Credits. The training was facilitated by Neal Rackleff from Rackleff LLP, and Peter Brewton from HR&A Advisors. Special thanks to Councilman Julian Ramirez for attending and CCPPI Houston, TX for their support in this work and hosting the training at their offices!
