Federal Project Grant Award Summary

Jefferson Franklin Community Action Corporation received a $100,646 Project Grant from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's 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 salaries and fringe benefits for FSS coordinators who will serve low-income families in Hillsboro, Missouri participating in public housing, Housing Choice Voucher (HCV), and Project-Based Rental Assistance (PBRA) programs. The coordinators are responsible for enrolling families, developing individualized training and services plans, and connecting participants with employment and community service providers to facilitate economic mobility.

As a grantee, Jefferson Franklin Community Action Corporation must maintain a minimum of 25 participating families in the FSS program during the performance period for each funded full-time equivalent coordinator position. The expected outcome is that enrolled families will increase their earned income, improve employment outcomes, and achieve other individualized self-sufficiency goals over the 5-7 year program participation period. The organization, which has an established track record of administering HUD and other federal programs, will be required to comply with applicable federal regulations including the Uniform Administrative Requirements in 2 CFR 200 and HUD-specific requirements outlined in 24 CFR Parts 84 and 984.
