Federal Grant Award Summary

The Housing Authority of the County of San Bernardino received a $330,000 Project Grant 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 of January 1 through December 31, 2026. This award funds coordinator salaries and fringe benefits to implement FSS programming for low-income families receiving public housing, Housing Choice Voucher, and project-based rental assistance. The funded coordinators are responsible for enrolling and maintaining participating families in the program, developing individualized training and services plans, and establishing partnerships with local employers and service providers to support family economic mobility.

Under this award, the Housing Authority must maintain a minimum of 25 participating families for the first full-time equivalent FSS coordinator position funded, with additional family enrollment requirements increasing by 50 families per additional funded coordinator. Over the 5-7 year participation period, program beneficiaries are expected to achieve employment, improve wages, and meet individualized self-sufficiency goals through the direct support and coordination services provided.
