The Fall
River Housing Authority held its second annual health and human
services fair for the residents of the Sunset Hill housing development on July
29, 2009. Representatives of local health and human service
organizations were on hand to display information, hand out literature
and answer questions for residents of the development. This activity is one example of the many events organized by the Housing
Authority to build community and promote health among over 20,000
residents of public housing in Fall River.
