Project Grant FSS26CA7264

The Housing Authority of the City of San Buenaventura received a $115,033 Project Grant award from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office under the Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS) Program (CFDA 14.896), effective January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2026. The grant funds salaries and fringe benefits for FSS Coordinator positions responsible for implementing coordinated services to low-income families receiving housing assistance through public housing, Housing Choice Vouchers, and project-based rental assistance programs.

FSS Coordinators supported by this award will enroll and maintain participating families in the program, develop individualized training and service plans, and establish partnerships with local employers and service providers to support family economic mobility. The Housing Authority is required to maintain a minimum number of participating families based on the number of funded coordinator positions and must ensure participants progress toward employment, improved wages, and achievement of individual self-sufficiency goals over the 5-7 year participation period. The award is contingent upon the Housing Authority's ability to hire and retain the requisite full-time equivalent coordinator positions and meet minimum family participation thresholds as outlined in the funding notice.
