Project Grant FSS26SC7257

The South Carolina Regional Housing Authority No. 3 Division received a $100,000 Project Grant 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 of January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2026. This award funds salary and fringe benefits for FSS Program Coordinators responsible for implementing comprehensive self-sufficiency services to low-income families residing in public housing, Housing Choice Voucher (HCV), and Project-Based Rental Assistance (PBRA) properties across South Carolina's service area.

FSS Coordinators supported by this grant will enroll and maintain participating families in the program, develop individualized training and service plans, and facilitate partnerships with community employers and service providers to support economic mobility. The grantee is required to maintain a minimum of 25 participating families during the grant period and hire or retain the requisite full-time equivalent coordinator positions funded by the award. Through the five to seven-year FSS participation cycle, families are expected to achieve improved employment outcomes, increase earned wages, and meet individualized economic self-sufficiency goals, thereby reducing reliance on housing assistance subsidies.
