Project Grant FSS25CA5900

This Project Grant award of $247,026.00 is provided by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), Public and Indian Housing Office, under the Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS) Program (CFDA 14.896). The purpose of the grant is to fund the salaries and fringe benefits of FSS Coordinators, who are responsible for implementing the FSS program for residents of public housing, Housing Choice Vouchers (HCV), and Project-Based Rental Assistance (PBRA) properties. The grant recipient, Regional Housing Authority, a U.S. local government entity, is required to hire/retain one full-time equivalent (FTE) FSS Coordinator for each funded position and serve at least 25 participating families per coordinator. The FSS Coordinators will enroll and maintain families in the program, work with them to develop individual training and service plans, and build partnerships with employers and service providers in the community. The intended outcome is to help participants become employed or improve their employment and wages, and meet other individual goals, thereby increasing their economic self-sufficiency.
