Federal Project Grant Award Summary

Spartanburg Housing received a $148,624 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 performance period January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2026. The award funds salary and fringe benefits for FSS Coordinator positions responsible for implementing employment and self-sufficiency services for low-income families receiving housing assistance through public housing, Housing Choice Vouchers (HCV), and project-based rental assistance (PBRA) programs.

Under this award, Spartanburg Housing's FSS Coordinators deliver core program services including family enrollment and retention, development of individualized training and service plans (ITSPs), and establishment of community partnerships with employers and service providers. The grantee is required to maintain a minimum of 25 participating families during the performance period for each funded full-time equivalent (FTE) coordinator position, with the expected outcome that participating families will achieve employment gains, increased wages, and progress toward self-sufficiency goals over their 5-7 year program participation period.
