Federal Grant Award Summary

Beyond Housing received a $121,000 Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office under the Family Self-Sufficiency Program (CFDA 14.896), effective January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2026. The award funds salary and fringe benefits for Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS) Coordinator positions responsible for implementing FSS programming for low-income residents of public housing, Housing Choice Vouchers (HCV), and project-based rental assistance (PBRA) properties in Bristol, Virginia.

Under this award, FSS Coordinators will enroll and maintain participating families in the program while developing individualized training and services plans to support employment and economic mobility goals. Coordinators will build partnerships with local employers and community service providers to help participating families increase earned income, reduce welfare dependence, and achieve economic self-sufficiency over five- to seven-year participation periods. The funding supports one full-time equivalent FSS Coordinator position, which requires the organization to serve a minimum of 25 participating families during the performance period in accordance with program requirements established by Section 23 of the 1937 Housing Act.
