Project Grant FSS25VA6530

This federal Project Grant award of $122,568.00 from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Public and Indian Housing Office under the Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS) Program (CFDA 14.896) is intended to fund the salaries and fringe benefits of FSS coordinators. These coordinators are responsible for implementing the FSS program for residents of public housing, Housing Choice Vouchers, and Project-Based Rental Assistance properties. The grant supports approximately 900 FSS programs run by public housing authorities and property owners across the country, with renewal applicants prioritized by statute. Grantees must hire/retain one full-time equivalent FSS coordinator for each funded position and ensure they serve at least the minimum required number of participating families. Over the 5-7 year contract period, the goal is for participants to become employed or improve their employment and wages, and meet other individual goals through the support of the FSS coordinators.
