Project Grant FSS26MD6958

The Housing Authority of the City of Annapolis, Inc. (HACA) received a $117,971 Project Grant award dated January 1, 2026, from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office under the Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS) Program (CFDA 14.896). The grant funds salary and fringe benefits for FSS coordinators who serve low-income families residing in public housing, Housing Choice Voucher programs, and project-based rental assistance properties throughout the Annapolis area. The award period extends through December 31, 2026.

Under this grant, FSS coordinators perform core program activities including enrolling and maintaining participating families, developing individualized training and services plans, and building partnerships with employers and community service providers to support economic self-sufficiency. HACA is required to maintain a minimum number of participating families based on the number of funded coordinator positions, with programs serving at least 25 families for the first full-time coordinator position. Over the typical 5-7 year participation period, program beneficiaries are expected to secure employment, improve wages, and achieve additional individual economic goals with coordinator support and guidance.
