Federal Grant Award Summary

The Brown County Housing Authority received a $140,708 Project Grant award from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office under the Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS) Program (CFDA 14.896), effective January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2026. These funds support the salary and fringe benefits for FSS coordinators responsible for implementing the program across public housing, Housing Choice Voucher (HCV), and Project-Based Rental Assistance (PBRA) properties in Green Bay, Wisconsin.

The FSS coordinators funded by this award will enroll and maintain participating families in the program while preparing Individual Training and Services Plans (ITSPs) tailored to each family's needs. The coordinators will also establish partnerships with employers and service providers to connect families with employment and training resources. The award requires the housing authority to serve a minimum of 25 participating families during the performance period, with the expectation that families will achieve improved employment outcomes, increased wages, and progress toward economic self-sufficiency over a 5-7 year participation trajectory.
