Federal Project Grant Award Summary

Peoria Housing Authority received $222,876 in federal Project Grant funding from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) Public and Indian Housing Office under the Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS) Program (CFDA 14.896) for the performance period of January 1 through 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 (HCV), and project-based rental assistance properties.

Under this award, FSS coordinators provide direct services to low-income families, including program enrollment and maintenance, development of individualized training and services plans (ITSPs), and coordination with community employers and service providers. Peoria Housing Authority is required to maintain a minimum of 25 participating families in FSS during the performance period based on its funded coordinator positions. Through the five to seven-year program participation period, participating families are expected to achieve employment improvements, increased wages, and progress toward other individual self-sufficiency goals, utilizing housing assistance as a platform to advance economic mobility and reduce welfare dependency.
