Grant Award Summary

The Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office awarded $122,590 to Pasco County Housing Authority under the Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS) Program (CFDA 14.896) for the period January 1 – December 31, 2026. The award funds salary and fringe benefits for FSS Coordinators who implement the program for residents of public housing, Housing Choice Vouchers, and Project-Based Rental Assistance properties. FSS Coordinators are responsible for enrolling and maintaining families in the program, developing Individual Training and Services Plans, and building partnerships with employers and community service providers to support participants' economic mobility.

Under this award, Pasco County Housing Authority must hire and retain the required number of full-time equivalent FSS Coordinators and serve a minimum of 25 participating families in FSS during the performance period for the first funded coordinator position, with an additional 50 families required for each additional funded coordinator. Over a 5-7 year participation period, program beneficiaries—low-income families receiving housing assistance—are expected to achieve employment or improve existing employment and wages while meeting other individualized goals toward self-sufficiency.
