About fifteen percent of Norwalk’s school age children reside in housing operated by the Norwalk Housing Authority. The Housing Authority Learning Centers were designed to ensure that children residing in public housing have the tools to develop academic, social, and personal skills that are necessary to promote success in school and future endeavors.

The Learning Centers provide families with school age children quality afterschool programs designed to create a culture of academic achievement. Daily homework assistance, tutoring in math, reading, technology, and writing is offered to all students. Ticket to Read and V-Math two web based programs are part of the academic support/enrichment at the centers.

The Centers offer programs that are designed to support academic achievement through the provision of a wide variety of quality activities and culturally enriching programs that increase students’ interests, creativity, and self esteem.
