Federal Grant Award Summary

The Town of Plymouth Housing Authority received a $141,138 Project Grant award effective January 1, 2026, through December 31, 2026, from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) Public and Indian Housing Office under the Family Self-Sufficiency Program (CFDA 14.896). The award funds salary and fringe benefits for one full-time equivalent (FTE) Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS) Program Coordinator position. The coordinator is responsible for enrolling and maintaining a minimum of 25 participating families in the FSS program during the calendar year, developing individual training and services plans (ITSPs) with enrolled families, and establishing partnerships with local employers and service providers to support participant employment and economic advancement.

The FSS program serves low-income residents of public housing and rental assistance properties, helping participating families increase earned income, reduce welfare dependence, and achieve self-sufficiency over five- to seven-year participation periods. The coordinator's activities directly support HUD's broader initiative, which funds approximately 900 FSS programs nationwide administered by public housing authorities and project-based rental assistance property owners. The Plymouth Housing Authority operates as a prime recipient on this recurring HUD grant program with no subcontractor involvement.
