Project Grant FSS25CO5951

This Project Grant award of $114,714.00, 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 salaries and fringe benefits for FSS coordinators at the Maiker Housing Partners public housing authority in Westminster, Colorado. The FSS coordinators are responsible for enrolling and maintaining families in the FSS program, working with them to develop individual training and service plans, and building partnerships with local employers and service providers. The award requires Maiker Housing Partners to hire/retain the number of coordinators funded and serve at least 25 participating families per coordinator, with the minimum number of participants increasing by 50 for each additional funded coordinator. Over the 5-7 year contract period, the FSS program aims to help participants become employed or improve their employment and wages, and meet other individual goals, supporting their path to economic self-sufficiency.
