Federal Grant Award Summary

The Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office awarded Allegheny County Housing Authority a $340,164 Project Grant under the Family Self-Sufficiency Program (CFDA 14.896) for the period January 1 through December 31, 2026. The grant funds salary and fringe benefits for Family Self-Sufficiency (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 in McKees Rocks, Pennsylvania.

FSS Program Coordinators supported by this funding are responsible for enrolling and maintaining participating families in the program, developing individualized training and services plans, establishing partnerships with employers and community service providers, and facilitating participant progress toward economic self-sufficiency. Grantees are required to maintain minimum participant enrollment thresholds based on the number of funded coordinator positions, with participating families typically engaged over five to seven-year service periods to increase earned income, improve employment outcomes, and achieve individualized economic goals.
