Federal Project Grant Award Summary

The City of Oceanside received a $145,406 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 award funds salary and fringe benefits for FSS Coordinators who implement the program at public housing, Housing Choice Voucher (HCV), and Project-Based Rental Assistance (PBRA) properties located at Camp Pendleton North, California. FSS Coordinators are responsible for enrolling and maintaining participating families in the program, developing individualized training and services plans, and building partnerships with employers and community service providers to support economic mobility.

Under this award, the City of Oceanside must hire and retain the requisite number of full-time equivalent FSS Coordinator positions and serve a minimum of 25 participating families during the performance period for the first coordinator position, with an additional 50 families required for each additional funded coordinator. The expected outcome is that participating families will increase employment and wages while meeting individualized economic self-sufficiency goals over the 5-7 year duration of their FSS participation.
