Federal Grant Award Summary

The County of Miami-Dade, through its Miami-Dade Housing and Community Development Division, received a $299,936 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) for the performance period January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2026. The award funds salaries and fringe benefits for FSS Coordinators responsible for implementing the FSS program for residents of public housing, Housing Choice Vouchers (HCV), and project-based rental assistance (PBRA) properties in Miami, FL.

FSS Coordinators supported by this funding will enroll and maintain participating families in the program, develop individualized training and services plans (ITSPs) with families, and build community partnerships with employers and service providers to support economic self-sufficiency. The grantee is required to maintain minimum participation thresholds based on the number of funded coordinator positions, with participating families expected to achieve employment gains, wage improvements, and other individual goals over the 5-7 year FSS participation period. The award supports Miami-Dade's broader portfolio of federal housing assistance and community development initiatives serving low-income residents throughout the county.
