The Department of Housing and Urban Development Public and Indian Housing Office awarded $330,000 to Prichard Housing Authority on January 1, 2026, under the Family Self-Sufficiency Program (CFDA 14.896) to fund salary and fringe benefits for FSS coordinators serving low-income families in public housing, Housing Choice Voucher, and project-based rental assistance properties in Prichard, Alabama.
FSS coordinators hired or retained through this award enroll and maintain families in the program, prepare individual training and services plans, and build partnerships with employers and service providers. Prichard Housing Authority must maintain at least 25 participating families throughout the calendar year 2026 period of performance, with each funded full-time equivalent coordinator position requiring at least that baseline participation. Participating families are expected to gain employment, improve wages and employment status, and meet individualized economic goals over the 5–7 year duration of their participation in FSS.
The award carries a period of performance from January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2026.
