Birmingham Housing Authority ends work with Church of the Highlands

preview

NEW!36,884sharesThe Housing Authority of the Birmingham District Board of Commissioners Monday voted to end a partnership with Church of the Highlands. Commissioners cited with Pastor Chris Hodges and social media activity.“Commissioners agreed that Pastor Hodges’ views do not reflect those of HABD and its residents; and Hodges’ values are not in line with those of HABD residents. HABD and Campus of Hope staff will continue to work with other faith-based organizations in the community to identify resources that will replace the services that were provided by COTH,” HABD said in a statement Monday afternoon.COTH has not responded to requests for comment.HABD has since 2017 had a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the church, Alabama’s largest, for resident outreach programs and social services at its Campus of Hope located in the Marks Village Public Housing community. These outreach programs and social services included mentoring, community support groups and faith and social service activities that promote volunteerism. These services were provided at nine of HABD’s public housing communities.HABD did not pay COTH for their services. The vote to cancel the memorandum with COTH will also end services provided by The Dream Center and Christ Health Center, which are ministries within the COTH.Hodges came under fire for following and liking social media posts by Charlie Kirk, president of the conservative non-profit Turning Point USA, a high school and college campus organization often for its political stances. He issued an apology to his church on May 31.“HABD greatly appreciates the many resources provided for our residents by COTH staff and volunteers over the years. Severing this partnership does not diminish the great work and support from COTH, which has made a difference in the lives of countless residents,” HABD officials said.Note to readers: if you purchase something through one of our affiliate links we may earn a commission.
