Federal Grant Award Summary

The Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office awarded the Dayton Metropolitan Housing Authority $368,700 under the Family Self-Sufficiency Program (CFDA 14.896) for the period January 1 – December 31, 2026. This Project Grant funds salary and fringe benefits for FSS Coordinators who facilitate economic mobility for low-income families residing in public housing, Housing Choice Voucher (HCV), and Project-Based Rental Assistance (PBRA) properties. The coordinators are responsible for enrolling and maintaining families in the program, developing individualized training and service plans, and establishing partnerships with employers and community service providers.

Under this award, the Dayton Metropolitan Housing Authority is required to hire and retain the funded FSS Coordinator positions and serve a minimum threshold of participating families as specified in the funding notice. FSS Coordinators directly support eligible families over a 5–7 year participation period with the objective of increasing earned income, improving employment status and wages, and helping families achieve economic self-sufficiency. The program supports HUD's strategic goal of leveraging housing as a platform for family economic security and financial independence.
