Federal Grant Award Summary

The Housing Authority of the City of Liberty, Missouri received a $130,035 Project Grant from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), Public and Indian Housing Office, under the Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS) Program (CFDA 14.896) for the performance period of January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2026. The grant funds the salary and fringe benefits for FSS coordinators who provide critical support services to low-income families residing in public housing, Housing Choice Voucher (HCV), and Project-Based Rental Assistance (PBRA) programs within Liberty, Missouri.

Under this award, FSS coordinators deliver comprehensive employment and self-sufficiency services, including family enrollment and program maintenance, development of individualized training and services plans (ITSPs), and partnership building with local employers and community service providers. Coordinators are responsible for serving a minimum of 25 participating families during the calendar year, with the expectation that participants will achieve improved employment outcomes, increased wages, and progress toward economic independence over the 5-7 year contract period. The grant supports the FSS program's overarching goal of promoting economic mobility and reducing welfare dependency among assisted housing residents.
