Federal Project Grant Award Summary

The Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office awarded $241,948.00 to the Stanislaus Regional Housing Authority under the Family Self-Sufficiency Program (CFDA 14.896) on January 1, 2026, with a performance period ending December 31, 2026. This grant funds the salaries and fringe benefits of Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS) coordinators who provide direct services to low-income families residing in public housing, Housing Choice Voucher (HCV), and Project-Based Rental Assistance (PBRA) properties in Modesto, California. The coordinators are responsible for enrolling and maintaining participating families in the program, developing Individual Training and Services Plans (ITSPs) tailored to each family's needs, and facilitating connections with community employers and service providers to support employment and economic advancement.

Under this award, the Stanislaus Regional Housing Authority must maintain the required minimum number of participating families based on the number of funded coordinator positions—a minimum of 25 families for the first full-time coordinator position, with an additional 50 families required for each additional funded coordinator. Over their 5–7 year participation period, FSS participants are expected to achieve employment, increase wages, and meet individualized self-sufficiency goals, thereby reducing welfare dependency and promoting long-term economic mobility within the Stanislaus County region.
