The Housing Opportunities Commission (HOC) offers residents and clients a wide variety of services through the Residents Services Division. The Division’s programs, such as, the Housing Stabilization Program, Supportive Services and Financial/Credit Counseling are meant to help families improve their financial stability.

In addition to programs maintained by Residents Services, the Housing Opportunities Commission provides a number of innovative programs and enrichment opportunities through its flagship, HOC Academy.

HOC Academy was created to help clients grow both personally and professionally. The training and support provided through HOC Academy seeks to bolster clients’ confidence and skill sets, allowing them to take an active role in improving their futures. Adult clients can participate in HOC WORKS, the Family Self Sufficiency Program (FSS) and the Fatherhood Initiative. Through HOC Academy, youth have access to scholarship opportunities, STEM and STEAM programs, summer employment and various group activities. HOC youth are also encouraged to join the Montgomery College Achieving Collegiate Excellence and Success (ACES) program which prepares students for seamless transition college, and for continued academic success through to college completion.
