What the heck is a "resident health advocate"? And what the heck is the "Experience Corps" - it sounds like one of Alinsky/Obama/Ayers' community pressure groups.
This lady was apparently only in her 50s. How was she managing to live in a senior citizens' development and why, although she had supposedly worked in computers, was she on welfare? This is truly an incredible story.
Don't hold your breath for anybody to be upset, though. Note that the local rep was "bursting with pride" when he found out.
Resident Health Advocate Program
Public housing residents from throughout the city are part of the Resident Health Advocate program. Participants in the program train on many topics, including: health assessment models, leadership skills, cultural competence, outreach education, navigating the health care system, asthma, first aid, nutrition for life, mental health, depression, stress, and STDs.
Those that graduate from the first phase of the program continue their training in four separate programs:
The GirlStars program targets girls at the Archdale and Washington-Beech developments and is designed to introduce girls to structured physical/recreational activities.
Those in the General Health Advocates Program will create a team of public housing residents to inform and advocate for other residents at the developments.
Others will tackle Family Health Promotion.
The remaining graduates will be a part of the Cancer Screening Program.

>>why, although she had supposedly worked in computers, was she on welfare?
Her title, “computer systems coordinator”, sounds like she might have been the admin who kept up with serial numbers on computers issued out, and such.
