Project Grant FSS25MA5806

The federal Project Grant award of $105,000.00 was provided by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's (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 for FSS coordinators responsible for implementing the FSS program at public housing, housing choice voucher, and project-based rental assistance properties. The award to the Madison Botolph II LIMITED Partnership in Boston, MA will allow the organization to hire/retain the required number of coordinators to serve at least 25 participating families for the first full-time coordinator position, with an additional 50 families per additional coordinator. The FSS coordinators will enroll and maintain families in the program, develop individual training and service plans, and build partnerships with employers and service providers to help participants achieve economic self-sufficiency through employment and skills development.
