Grant Award Summary

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office awarded Robeson County Housing Authority $105,240 under the Family Self-Sufficiency Program (CFDA 14.896) for the performance period January 1 – December 31, 2026. This Project Grant funds salary and fringe benefits for FSS Coordinators who implement employment and self-sufficiency initiatives for low-income families residing in public housing, Housing Choice Vouchers, and project-based rental assistance properties. The funded coordinator positions enable the organization to enroll and maintain participating families in the program while developing individualized training and services plans and cultivating partnerships with local employers and service providers.

FSS Coordinators deliver direct services to help participating families increase earned income, reduce welfare dependence, and achieve economic self-sufficiency goals over five- to seven-year participation periods. The award requires that RCHA maintain a minimum of 25 participating families for the first full-time coordinator position funded, with additional family participation requirements scaling by 50 families per additional funded coordinator. As a long-standing recipient of HUD housing programs, RCHA serves as the prime grantee and direct implementer of all funded FSS activities within Robeson County, North Carolina.
