The Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office awarded the Mobile Housing Authority $266,841 under the Family Self-Sufficiency Program (CFDA 14.896) on January 1, 2026, for a project grant to fund FSS Coordinator salaries and fringe benefits.
The award funds compensation for FSS Program Coordinators who enroll and maintain families in the Family Self-Sufficiency program, which serves residents of public housing, Housing Choice Vouchers, and project-based rental assistance properties. FSS Coordinators develop individual training and services plans for participating families, work with families on employment and self-sufficiency goals over multi-year participation periods, and build partnerships with community employers and service providers. The Mobile Housing Authority must maintain at least 25 participating families in the FSS program during the period of performance, with enrollment requirements scaling by coordinator position.
The award period runs from January 1, 2026, through December 31, 2026, with place of performance in Mobile, Alabama. Expected outcomes include hiring or retaining the funded coordinator position and serving the minimum number of required participants, with participating families expected to gain employment or improve employment and wages over the course of their 5- to 7-year participation in the program.
