Summary

The Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office awarded Prince William County Government $119,985 under the Family Self-Sufficiency Program (CFDA 14.896) effective January 1, 2026, through December 31, 2026. This Project Grant funds salary and fringe benefits for Family Self-Sufficiency Program Coordinators who deliver employment and economic mobility services to low-income families receiving housing assistance. The coordinators serve residents of public housing, Housing Choice Voucher programs, and project-based rental assistance properties within Prince William County.

Under this award, FSS coordinators perform core program activities including enrolling and maintaining participating families in the program, developing individual training and services plans, and establishing partnerships with local employers and service providers to support participants' employment and wage growth. The county must maintain a minimum of 25 participating families for each funded coordinator position and serve these families over five- to seven-year participation periods with the goal of increasing earned income, reducing welfare dependence, and achieving economic self-sufficiency. This represents the fourth consecutive annual award to Prince William County for FSS program coordination services.
