Federal Grant Award Summary

The Flint Housing Commission received a $105,508 Project Grant from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office under the Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS) Program (CFDA 14.896) for the period January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2026. The award funds salary and fringe benefits for FSS Program Coordinators who serve low-income families residing in public housing, Housing Choice Voucher (HCV), and Project-Based Rental Assistance (PBRA) properties in Flint, Michigan.

Under this award, FSS Coordinators will enroll and maintain participating families in the program while developing Individual Training and Services Plans (ITSPs) tailored to each family's needs. The Coordinators will also build partnerships with local employers and service providers to connect families with employment resources and supportive services. Grantees must maintain a minimum of 25 participating families per funded full-time equivalent Coordinator position. Over the 5-7 year participation period, families are expected to achieve employment, improve wages, and meet other individual self-sufficiency goals, thereby reducing welfare dependency and promoting economic mobility among vulnerable populations.
