Federal Grant Award Summary

The San Francisco Housing Authority received a $290,572 Project Grant from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office under the Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS) Program (CFDA 14.896) for the performance period January 1 – December 31, 2026. This award funds salary and fringe benefits for FSS Coordinators who provide employment support services to low-income families residing in public housing, Housing Choice Voucher properties, and Project-Based Rental Assistance properties. The FSS Coordinators are responsible for enrolling and maintaining participating families in the program, developing individualized training and services plans, connecting families with employment and community service providers, and supporting families in achieving economic self-sufficiency goals over a 5–7 year participation period.

Under this award, the San Francisco Housing Authority is expected to hire and retain the funded FSS Coordinator positions and serve a minimum number of participating families as specified in the funding notice, with the requirement that each full-time coordinator position serve at least 25 families initially, increasing by 50 families for each additional funded coordinator. The program supports HUD's strategic objective of leveraging housing assistance as a platform to enhance family economic security by reducing welfare dependency and increasing earned income and employment outcomes among vulnerable populations.
