BRE, (Book-Rich Environment), aims to give children and families living in HUD-assisted housing high-quality books and other literacy tools. This will help young people have the tools they need to reach their full potential and be successful. Reading is the first step in education for our children. This is a commitment to promoting early learning, early literacy, and early school success.
