Summary: City of Vacaville Family Self-Sufficiency Program Award

The Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office awarded the City of Vacaville $320,470 on January 1, 2026, under the Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS) Program (CFDA 14.896) for the performance period ending December 31, 2026. The funding supports the salary and fringe benefits for FSS Coordinators who implement the program for low-income families receiving housing assistance through Public Housing, Housing Choice Vouchers (HCV), and Project-Based Rental Assistance (PBRA) programs.

FSS Coordinators funded through this award will enroll and maintain participating families in the program, prepare Individual Training and Services Plans (ITSPs) tailored to family needs, and build partnerships with local employers and service providers. The award requires the City of Vacaville to maintain a minimum number of participating families based on the number of funded coordinator positions, with the expectation that families will achieve employment or improve their employment status and wages over the 5-7 year contract period. This project grant represents one of approximately 900 FSS programs operated by Public Housing Authorities and property owners nationwide.
