Project Grant FSS26FL6731

The Broward County Housing Authority received a $359,748 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 period of January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2026. The award funds salary and fringe benefits for FSS coordinators who provide direct services to low-income families residing in public housing, Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) programs, and Project-Based Rental Assistance (PBRA) properties in the Fort Lauderdale, Florida area.

The FSS coordinators deliver comprehensive employment and economic mobility support services, including family enrollment and program maintenance, development of individual training and service plans (ITSPs), and partnerships with local employers and service providers. Under this grant, the grantee is required to serve a minimum of 25 participating families during the calendar year performance period for the first full-time coordinator position funded by HUD, with participation requirements increasing by 50 families for each additional funded coordinator. The program aims to help participating families achieve employment, increase wages, and meet individual economic self-sufficiency goals over a 5-7 year participation period.
