Project Grant FSS26CA6957

The City of Pomona received a $143,813 Project Grant award dated January 1, 2026, from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office under the Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS) Program (CFDA 14.896). The award funds salary 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. FSS Coordinators are responsible for enrolling and maintaining families in the program, developing Individual Training and Services Plans (ITSPs), and building partnerships with local employers and service providers to support participant employment and economic advancement.

Under this award with a performance period through December 31, 2026, the City of Pomona will hire and retain the requisite number of full-time equivalent FSS Coordinators and serve the minimum required number of participating families as outlined in the funding notice. The program is designed to help low-income families increase earned income, improve employment prospects, and achieve economic self-sufficiency over a 5-7 year participation cycle. As a demonstrated experienced grant recipient with substantial HUD funding history in housing and homeless services, the City of Pomona is well-positioned to effectively implement the FSS program coordination activities funded through this award.
