Federal Project Grant Award Summary

The Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) Public and Indian Housing Office awarded $141,030 to the Harrisonburg Redevelopment and Housing Authority 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 Coordinators who implement the program for residents of public housing, Housing Choice Vouchers (HCV), and project-based rental assistance properties in Harrisonburg, Virginia.

Under this award, FSS Coordinators will enroll and maintain participating families in the program, develop individualized training and service plans (ITSPs) with families, and establish partnerships with local employers and service providers. The grantee must maintain the minimum number of participating families required based on the number of funded coordinator positions—at least 25 families for the first full-time coordinator position, with an additional 50 families required for each additional funded coordinator. Over the 5-7 year program period, participating families are expected to achieve employment, improve wages, and meet other individual economic goals, thereby advancing toward financial self-sufficiency.
