Federal Grant Award Summary

The Housing Authority of Fort Worth, Texas (doing business as Fort Worth Housing Solutions) received a $490,470 Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office under the Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS) Program (CFDA 14.896) for the period of January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2026. The award funds salaries and fringe benefits for FSS Coordinators who implement the program for residents of public housing, Housing Choice Vouchers (HCV), and Project-Based Rental Assistance (PBRA) properties in Fort Worth, Texas.

Under this award, FSS Coordinators deliver critical services including family enrollment and retention, development of Individual Training and Services Plans (ITSPs), and coordination with employers and community service providers. The grantee is required to maintain a minimum threshold of participating families based on the number of funded coordinator positions—25 families for the first full-time equivalent coordinator position, with an additional 50 families required for each subsequent coordinator position funded. Over the 5-7 year participation period, program participants are expected to achieve employment gains, wage improvements, and progress toward individual self-sufficiency goals through coordinated supportive services and workforce development assistance.
