Project Grant FSS26NY6846

The New York City Housing Authority received a $541,740 Project Grant from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office under the Family Self-Sufficiency Program (CFDA 14.896) for the period January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2026. The funding supports salary and fringe benefits for FSS Program Coordinators who deliver employment and economic mobility services to low-income families residing in public housing, Housing Choice Voucher programs, and project-based rental assistance properties across New York City.

Under this award, FSS Coordinators are responsible for enrolling and maintaining participating families in the program, developing individualized training and services plans (ITSPs), and establishing partnerships with employers and community service providers. Coordinators work with families over multi-year contracts to support their progression toward economic self-sufficiency by increasing earned income, improving employment outcomes, and reducing welfare dependency. The grantee must maintain minimum participant enrollment thresholds—25 participating families for the first funded coordinator position and 50 additional families for each subsequent position—throughout the performance period.
