Federal Grant Award Summary

Allegheny Commons Community Partners, LP received a $114,013.00 Project Grant award from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office under the Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS) Program (CFDA 14.896), effective January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2026. The grant funds the salary and fringe benefits for FSS coordinators who implement support services for low-income families residing in public housing, Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) programs, and Project-Based Rental Assistance (PBRA) properties in Irvine, California.

FSS coordinators supported by this award are responsible for enrolling and maintaining participating families in the program, developing Individual Training and Services Plans (ITSPs) tailored to family needs, and establishing partnerships with employers and community service providers to facilitate employment and economic advancement. The grantee must maintain a minimum of 25 participating families for the first coordinator position funded, with the minimum increasing by 50 families for each additional funded coordinator. Over a 5-7 year participation period, FSS program participants are expected to achieve employment, improve wages, and meet individual economic self-sufficiency goals, consistent with the broader FSS initiative to support economic mobility for housing-assisted families across the nation.
