Federal Grant Award Summary

The Ann Arbor Housing Commission received a $209,008 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–December 31, 2026. This award funds salary and fringe benefits for Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS) Coordinators who implement the FSS program for residents of public housing, Housing Choice Vouchers (HCV), and Project-Based Rental Assistance (PBRA) properties. The FSS Coordinators are responsible for enrolling and maintaining families in the program, developing individualized training and service plans, and building partnerships with employers and community service providers to support participant economic mobility.

Under this award, the Ann Arbor Housing Commission is required to maintain a minimum of 25 participating families in FSS during the calendar year following the appropriation, with the expectation that participants will achieve employment, improve wages, and meet individual self-sufficiency goals over a 5–7 year period of participation. The funding supports the core staffing infrastructure necessary to deliver comprehensive case management and employment support services to low-income housing residents, consistent with the FSS program's mission to promote economic self-sufficiency and reduce welfare dependency.
