Family Self-Sufficiency Program Grant Award Summary

The Los Angeles County Development Authority (LACDA) received a $1,073,624 Project Grant award from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office under the Family Self-Sufficiency Program (CFDA 14.896) for the performance period January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2026. The award funds salaries and fringe benefits for FSS Coordinators who implement the program for residents of public housing, Housing Choice Vouchers (HCV), and Project-Based Rental Assistance (PBRA) properties within Los Angeles County.

Under this award, LACDA's FSS Coordinators provide direct services to low-income families, including program enrollment and family maintenance, development of Individual Training and Services Plans (ITSPs), and coordination with local employers and service providers to facilitate employment and economic advancement. Coordinators must serve a minimum of participating families as specified in the funding notice (typically 25 families for the first coordinator position, with incremental increases for additional funded positions). The program is designed to help participating families increase earned income, improve employment outcomes, and achieve economic self-sufficiency over a 5-7 year participation contract period while reducing welfare dependency.
