Federal Grant Award Summary

The Concord Housing Authority received a $105,649 Project Grant award from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office under the Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS) Program (CFDA 14.896) for the period of January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2026. The award funds salary and fringe benefits for FSS Coordinator positions responsible for implementing the FSS program for low-income families residing in public housing, Housing Choice Voucher (HCV), and Project-Based Rental Assistance (PBRA) properties in Concord, NH.

Under this award, FSS Coordinators will enroll and maintain participating families in the program, develop individualized training and services plans with participants, and establish partnerships with local employers and service providers to support economic mobility. The Coordinator(s) funded through this grant must serve a minimum of 25 participating families during the performance period, with that number increasing by 50 families for each additional funded coordinator position. Over their 5-7 year participation contracts, families are expected to achieve improved employment outcomes, increased wages, and progress toward meeting their individual economic self-sufficiency goals.
