Federal Project Grant Award Summary

The Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office awarded Sheffield Housing Authority $109,603 under the Family Self-Sufficiency Program (CFDA 14.896) for the period January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2026. The award funds salaries and fringe benefits for FSS coordinators who implement employment and economic self-sufficiency services for low-income families residing in public housing, Housing Choice Voucher, and Project-Based Rental Assistance properties.

Under this project grant, Sheffield Housing Authority will hire and retain FSS coordinator positions to enroll and maintain participating families in the program, develop individualized training and services plans, and establish partnerships with community employers and service providers. Coordinators are responsible for serving a minimum number of participating families as specified in the funding notice, with the expectation that families will achieve employment gains, improve wages, and meet individual self-sufficiency goals over the 5-7 year participation period. The award supports the delivery of direct coordination services designed to increase economic mobility and reduce welfare dependency among program participants.
