Federal Project Grant Award Summary

Columbia Heights Village Apartments received a $104,468 Project Grant award from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office under the Family Self-Sufficiency Program (CFDA 14.896) for the performance period January 1 – December 31, 2026. The funding supports salary and fringe benefits for FSS Program Coordinator positions that deliver employment and economic mobility services to low-income families residing in public housing, Housing Choice Voucher programs, and project-based rental assistance properties.

Under this award, FSS Coordinators will enroll and maintain participating families in the program, develop individualized training and services plans, and establish partnerships with employers and community service providers to facilitate participant employment and economic self-sufficiency. The grantee is required to maintain a minimum threshold of participating families based on the number of funded coordinator positions, with expectations that participants will achieve increased earned income, improved employment outcomes, and individualized economic goals over multi-year service periods.
