Representatives from FHAR were presented with a certificate by the city’s Department of Community and Human Development during Community Development Week in El Paso at a ceremony at the Willie Sanchez Rosales Family Center.

“We provide services to our homeless, adopted and foster students,” said Pat Caro, director of the FHAR program. “We try to streamline the various processes. If a student becomes homeless, we will connect them with the resources they might need, such as financial aid for housing or bus passes for transportation. We try to get them the services they need as fast as we can.”

The El Paso Coalition for the Homeless nominated FHAR for the impact it has made on the El Paso community through its work on campus.

FHAR helps 成人头条’s foster, homeless and adopted students connect with resources. The number of students participating in the program can range from 80 to 120 each semester.

The program has been serving 成人头条 students for close to 10 years. Services include: academic advising; school, hygiene and household supplies; access to the food pantry; mentoring; housing referrals and career services and counseling.

“Any 成人头条 student, it doesn’t matter if they are graduate or undergraduate, who finds themselves in a situation where they are homeless or adopted or fostered and they need help, they can come here and we can point them in the right direction and we’ll assist them,” Caro said.
