Federal Grant Award Summary

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office awarded Oxnard Housing Authority $230,068 under the Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS) Program (CFDA 14.896) for the period of January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2026. This Project Grant funds the salaries and fringe benefits for FSS Coordinators who implement the FSS program for residents of public housing, Housing Choice Vouchers (HCV), and Project-Based Rental Assistance (PBRA) properties. The Oxnard Housing Authority will hire and retain the requisite number of full-time equivalent FSS Coordinators to serve the minimum required number of participating families outlined in the funding notice.

FSS Coordinators are responsible for enrolling and maintaining families in the program, developing individualized training and services plans with participants, and building partnerships with employers and community service providers. Over the 5-7 year contract period, participating families are expected to achieve employment, improve wages, and meet other individual economic self-sufficiency goals. The grant enables the Oxnard Housing Authority to support low-income families in achieving economic independence and reducing welfare dependency through coordinated employment and supportive services.
