Project Grant FSS26MI6941

The City of Plymouth's Plymouth Housing Commission received a $138,747 Project Grant award from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), Public and Indian Housing Office, under the Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS) Program (CFDA 14.896) effective January 1, 2026 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 (PBRA) properties.

The funded coordinators deliver core services including enrollment and maintenance of participating families in the FSS program, development of individualized training and services plans (ITSPs) tailored to family goals, and establishment of partnerships with local employers and service providers. Grantees receiving funding for the first full-time equivalent (FTE) coordinator position must maintain participation of at least 25 families during the performance period, with participation requirements increasing by 50 families for each additional funded coordinator. Through these coordinated services, program participants are expected to achieve employment gains, wage improvements, and progress toward economic self-sufficiency goals over a 5-7 year participation period.
