Federal Grant Award Summary

The Housing Authority of Alameda County received a $534,060 Project Grant awarded on 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). This award funds salaries and fringe benefits for FSS coordinators who implement critical support services for low-income families receiving housing assistance through public housing, Housing Choice Voucher (HCV), and Project-Based Rental Assistance (PBRA) programs.

Under this award, FSS coordinators are responsible for enrolling and maintaining program participants, developing individualized training and service plans (ITSPs), and establishing partnerships with local employers and service providers. The grantee is required to maintain a minimum of 25 participating families per funded full-time equivalent (FTE) coordinator position, with additional family participation requirements for each additional funded coordinator. Over the grant's performance period (January 1 through December 31, 2026), participating families are expected to achieve employment gains, wage improvements, and progress toward economic self-sufficiency through the coordinated support services delivered under this program.
