Wyoming Housing Commission Inc. received a $197,330 Project Grant award from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office under the Family Self-Sufficiency Program (CFDA 14.896) for the performance period January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2026. The award funds salary and fringe benefits for FSS Coordinators who administer the Family Self-Sufficiency Program to residents of public housing, Housing Choice Vouchers (HCV), and Project-Based Rental Assistance (PBRA) properties in the Grand Rapids, Michigan area.

The FSS Coordinators supported by this award are responsible for enrolling and maintaining participating families in the program, preparing Individual Training and Services Plans (ITSPs) tailored to family needs, and establishing partnerships with local employers and service providers. The grant requires Wyoming Housing Commission Inc. to maintain a minimum of 25 participating families during the performance period for the first funded coordinator position, with the expectation that these families will achieve employment improvements, increased wages, and progress toward their individual self-sufficiency goals over the course of their 5-7 year participation in the program.
