Project Grant FSS25CA5940

This Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) Public and Indian Housing Office provides $196,107 to the Anaheim Housing Authority to fund the salaries and fringe benefits of Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS) program coordinators. The purpose of the grant is to support the implementation of the FSS program, which serves residents of public housing, Housing Choice Voucher (HCV), and Project-Based Rental Assistance (PBRA) properties. The FSS coordinators are responsible for enrolling and maintaining participating families in the program, developing individual training and service plans, and building partnerships with employers and service providers in the community. The award requires the Anaheim Housing Authority to serve at least 25 participating families for the first full-time coordinator, with additional family participation requirements for any subsequent coordinators funded. The ultimate goal is to help participating families improve their employment opportunities, increase their wages, and achieve greater economic self-sufficiency over a 5-7 year period.
