Federal Grant Award Summary

The Housing Authority of the City of Greenville received a $180,000 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 period of January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2026. This award funds the salary and fringe benefits for FSS (Family Self-Sufficiency) Coordinator positions responsible for administering the FSS program to low-income families residing in public housing, Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) units, and Project-Based Rental Assistance (PBRA) properties in Greenville, North Carolina.

The FSS Coordinators supported by this grant are responsible for enrolling and maintaining participating families in the program, developing individualized training and services plans (ITSPs), facilitating family engagement with employment and service providers, and supporting participants in achieving employment and income goals over the typical 5-7 year program participation period. Based on standard FSS program requirements, the Housing Authority must maintain minimum participation thresholds: at least 25 participating families for the first funded coordinator position, with participation levels increasing by 50 families for each additional funded coordinator. The award enables the grantee to provide essential workforce development and economic mobility support services that promote self-sufficiency among vulnerable low-income residents.
