Federal Grant Award Summary

The Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office awarded Southern Nevada Regional Housing Authority (SNRHA) $1,074,573 under the Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS) Program (CFDA 14.896) for the performance period January 1 through December 31, 2026. This Project Grant funds salary and fringe benefits for FSS Coordinators who administer the program to low-income families receiving housing assistance through public housing, Housing Choice Vouchers (HCV), and project-based rental assistance (PBRA). The FSS Program operates across approximately 900 programs nationwide run by public housing authorities and PBRA property owners.

Under this award, SNRHA will hire and retain FSS Coordinators responsible for enrolling and maintaining participating families in the program, developing individual training and services plans (ITSPs) tailored to family needs, and building community partnerships with employers and service providers. The funding supports coordinator positions that must serve a minimum number of participating families during the performance period, with the first coordinator position required to serve at least 25 families and each additional funded coordinator position serving an additional 50 families. Over the multi-year participation period, FSS program participants are expected to achieve employment or improve their employment status and wages while meeting individualized self-sufficiency goals.
