Federal Grant Award Summary

The Housing Authority of County of Monte received $267,108 in project grant funding 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 period January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2026. These funds support the salary and fringe benefits for FSS coordinators responsible for implementing the program across public housing, Housing Choice Voucher, and Project-Based Rental Assistance properties in Salinas, California.

FSS coordinators funded under this award deliver direct services to low-income families, including program enrollment and maintenance, development of individual training and service plans, and coordination with local employers and service providers to support economic mobility. The grantee is required to maintain at least 25 participating families per funded coordinator position during the performance period. Through these coordinator-led interventions, participating families work toward increased employment, improved wages, and achievement of individualized economic self-sufficiency goals over a 5-7 year program participation cycle.
