Project Grant FSS25CA6554

This Project Grant award, provided by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Public and Indian Housing Office under the Family Self-Sufficiency (CFDA 14.896) program, funds the salary and fringe benefits for FSS coordinators responsible for implementing the FSS program. The $111,232 award to Allegheny Commons Community Partners, LP, a for-profit partnership based in Irvine, CA, will support the hiring and retention of FSS coordinators. These coordinators are tasked with enrolling and maintaining participating families in the program, developing individual training and service plans, and building partnerships with employers and service providers. The grant requires the organization to serve at least 25 participating families per funded coordinator position, with this number increasing by 50 families for each additional coordinator. The goal is to help program participants become employed, improve their wages, and achieve economic self-sufficiency over a 5-7 year period.
