Federal Grant Award Summary

The Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office awarded Tennessee Valley Regional Housing Authority a Project Grant of $301,980 under the Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS) Program (CFDA 14.896) effective January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2026. The grant funds salaries and fringe benefits for FSS coordinators who implement economic self-sufficiency services for families residing in public housing, Housing Choice Voucher (HCV), and Project-Based Rental Assistance (PBRA) properties in Corinth, Mississippi.

FSS coordinators funded through this award provide direct services including family enrollment and program maintenance, development of Individual Training and Services Plans (ITSPs), and coordination with community employers and service providers. The grantee is required to maintain a minimum of 25 participating families for the first coordinator position funded. Over a 5-7 year participation period, FSS coordinators work with families to achieve employment, increase earned wages, improve financial literacy, and reduce welfare dependency, thereby supporting broader economic mobility objectives for low-income housing assistance recipients.
