Project Grant FSS25FL6284

This federal Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Public and Indian Housing Office provides $261,975 in funding for the Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS) Program (CFDA 14.896). The purpose of the grant is to fund the salaries and fringe benefits for 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 FSS coordinators are tasked with enrolling and maintaining families in the program, working with them to develop Individual Training and Services Plans (ITSPs), and building partnerships with employers and service providers in the community. The grantee, the Housing Authority of Brevard County, is required to hire/retain one full-time equivalent (FTE) FSS program coordinator for each funded position and ensure that the coordinators serve at least the minimum number of participating families, which starts at 25 for the first coordinator and increases by 50 for each additional coordinator. The grant performance period is from January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2025.
