Lincoln Housing Authority Presented with Prosper Lincoln Step Up Award

Michelle Suarez, Prosper Lincoln’s (ProsperLincoln.org) developer for early childhood, presented Lincoln Housing Authority (LHA) with the Prosper Lincoln Step Up Award.

LHA provides affordable housing to families currently undergoing financial stress. The organization’s Reading Matters program presents diverse and age-appropriate books to children 14 and younger whose families reside in LHA’s housing programs. Along with the distribution of books, education is also provided to families regarding the importance of reading aloud 15 minutes each day. The program has been so successful that other housing authorities across the country intend to replicate it in their communities.
