Federal Grant Award Summary

The Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office awarded $184,684 to Southwestern Id Cooperative Housing on January 1, 2026, under the Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS) Program (CFDA 14.896) for a performance period ending December 31, 2026. The grant funds the salary and fringe benefits for FSS Coordinators who provide direct services to low-income families residing in public housing, Housing Choice Voucher, and project-based rental assistance properties. FSS Coordinators are responsible for enrolling and maintaining participating families in the program, developing individualized training and service plans, and facilitating connections with local employers and service providers to support participant employment and economic mobility.

Under this award, Southwestern Id Cooperative Housing must maintain a minimum of 25 participating families in active FSS enrollment during the performance period, consistent with the statutory requirements for single-coordinator programs. The expected outcomes include the hiring and retention of funded coordinator positions, service delivery to the required minimum number of participants, and measurable progress toward participant employment, wage improvement, and achievement of individual self-sufficiency goals over the participants' 5-7 year program participation period.
