Project Grant FSS25UT6044

This Project Grant award, with a total funding amount of $312,752.00, was provided by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) under the Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS) Program (CFDA 14.896). The purpose of the award 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, and building partnerships with employers and service providers in the community. The award requires the grantee, the SL County Housing Authority (doing business as Housing Connect), to hire or retain the number of coordinators funded and serve at least the minimum number of participant families per coordinator, which increases with each additional funded position. The award period is for one calendar year, from January 1, 2025, to December 31, 2025.
