5. HUD National Father’s Day Event The HUD Father’s Day event, celebrated in the month of June, are designed to provide opportunities for father’s and families to ensure positive effects on children’s health, development, and well being. Since 2011 an estimated 22,000 fathers, children, mothers and partnering organizations participated in nationwide events at HUD assisted properties. We have experienced tremendous growth and continue to develop and enhance this initiative to ensure that the efforts are aligned with HUD’s Strategic Plan. By “using Housing as a Platform to improve the quality of life for our residents,” Fathers Day 2015 provides an ideal opportunity for delivering a wide variety of health, wealth building and supportive services. www.hud.gov/fathersday5

6. Program Overview Celebrating 5 years of collaboration with Sponsors and Partners The Department invites all Public Housing Authorities (PHAs) and Multifamily HUD-assisted properties to host a Father’s day event to help strengthen, empower and improve the quality of life for fathers and their families. HUD’s Father’s Day Initiative was developed by the Community and Supportive Services Office in Public and Indian Housing in response to the stark socio-economic data indicating how children and youth are being negatively affected by father-absent homes. HUD staff from across various program offices including the Office of Housing, Community Planning and Development (CPD) and Strategic Planning and Management are collaborating to provide innovative resources for participants. The Fathers day initiative is in line with HUD’s Strategic Objective by promoting advancement in economic prosperity for residents of HUD-assisted properties. Last year 446 Father’s Day activities and services were conducted through partnerships with Public Housing Authorities (PHAs). This year we want to increase our level of participation to include partners in the areas of wealth, education and job training using a interagency collaborative approach www.hud.gov/fathersday6
