Federal Grant Award Summary

New Academy Estate LLC received a $107,625 Project Grant award 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 January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2026. The funds are designated exclusively for salary and fringe benefits supporting FSS Coordinator positions that implement the program for residents of public housing, Housing Choice Vouchers (HCV), and Project-Based Rental Assistance (PBRA) properties.

Under this award, FSS Coordinators employed by New Academy Estate LLC will be responsible for enrolling and maintaining participating families in the program, developing Individual Training and Services Plans (ITSPs) tailored to family goals, and establishing partnerships with community employers and service providers. The grantee must maintain a minimum of 25 participating families for the first funded full-time equivalent coordinator position, with the expectation that participants will achieve increased employment, improved wages, and progress toward other individualized economic self-sufficiency goals over the 5-7 year program participation cycle. The award supports HUD's broader strategic objective of using housing assistance as a platform for enhancing family economic security and reducing welfare dependency.
