Federal Grant Award Summary

The Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office awarded $1.73M to the Michigan State Housing Development Authority (MSHDA) under the Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS) Program (CFDA 14.896) for the period January 1 – December 31, 2026. The funding supports the salaries and fringe benefits for FSS Coordinators who administer self-sufficiency services to low-income families residing in public housing, Housing Choice Voucher (HCV), and Project-Based Rental Assistance (PBRA) properties throughout Michigan. FSS Coordinators are responsible for enrolling and maintaining program participants, developing individualized training and service plans, and establishing partnerships with employers and community service providers to facilitate participant economic mobility.

Under this award, MSHDA must hire and retain the requisite number of full-time equivalent FSS Coordinator positions funded by the grant and maintain a minimum participant enrollment threshold of at least 25 families per funded coordinator position. The expected outcomes include sustained employment of funded coordinators and their service to at least the minimum required number of participants, with long-term program participants expected to achieve improved employment status, increased wages, and attainment of other individual economic goals over the 5-7 year duration of their participation in FSS.
