Our Goal

Our goal is to expose our youth to a variety of activities, locations, and cultures from cradle to career.  We encourage school readiness, especially in the areas of reading, math and social development and provide various programs to help with this endeavor.

Strategic goals

  • Remove barriers and provide tools to assist our residents in becoming self sufficient
  • Provide programs for youth that will motivate learning, raise self-esteem and enable them to become productive members of the community

The Housing Authority of Covington (HAC) is committed to Early Childhood Education (ECE). We believe that ECE yields many long-term benefits for children. Therefore, it is our commitment to help them have “better futures.” 

HAC recognizes that quality child-care and pre-school programs can be challenging to access for our residents at times. Therefore, HAC staff members will work diligently with families to determine what support they need to obtain that access. HAC does not do this work alone. We align with local community partners, our local school district, and surrounding nonprofits. Our partnerships allow for efficient efforts that combine a high level of proficiency and resources to a greater outcome. 

Our partners include, but not limited to:

1. City of Covington – Ready Ready Covington
2. Covington Independent Public Schools
3. Kenton County Public Library
4. UMC Food Ministry
5. Brighton Center – HIPPY
6. NKCAC – CCC

THE STAR PROGRAM

  1. The Summer of Technology, Activities and Reading (STAR) Program is held each summer in the Latonia Terrace community. The STAR program caters to childrren between ages of 5-11. During this six-week program, HAC staff collaborate with Read, Ready, Covington and the Kenton County to bring educational and exciting activities to our youth.
  2. Each participating child attends a weekly in-person session in our local community hall to participate in engaging literacy activities with staff and receive a nutritious snack!

Each participating child attends a weekly “check in” session every Wednesday, in the summer, in our local community hall to do the following:

  • Download activities for the week
  • Participate in a literacy activity with staff
  • Receive guidance from Literacy coach

ARTS & CRAFTS / READING

The Housing Authority of Covington partners with the Kenton County Public Library multiple times a year to host various themed arts and Crafts and reading sessions
