This federal Project Grant award of $141,640.00 from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) Public and Indian Housing Office is provided under the Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS) Program (CFDA 14.896). The purpose of the grant is to fund the salaries and fringe benefits of FSS coordinators responsible for implementing the FSS program for residents of public housing, Housing Choice Vouchers, and Project-Based Rental Assistance properties.

The FSS coordinators funded through this award will be responsible for enrolling and maintaining families in the program, developing Individual Training and Services Plans, and building partnerships with employers and service providers in the community. The grantee, Rockville Housing Enterprises, is a local government housing authority that must hire/retain the number of coordinators for which they are funded and serve at least the minimum number of participating families required per coordinator. Over the 5-7 year contract period, the intended program beneficiaries will become employed or improve their employment and wages, and meet other individual self-sufficiency goals.
