JOBS-PLUS Pilot Initiative Grant Summary

The Huntsville Housing Authority received a $544,500 Project Grant from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office under the Resident Opportunity and Supportive Services - Service Coordinators program (CFDA 14.870), awarded June 1, 2026, with a three-year performance period concluding May 31, 2029. This award funds service coordinators who connect public housing residents to supportive services designed to address educational, professional, and health barriers to economic and housing self-sufficiency. The service coordinators link residents with resources and assistance that enable them to achieve greater economic independence and housing stability.

The grant supports the Authority's efforts to serve approximately 3,000 public housing units across the Huntsville area, with particular focus on low-income families, elderly residents, and persons with disabilities. As part of the broader JOBS-PLUS Pilot Initiative, the funded service coordination activities complement the Authority's existing Family Self-Sufficiency Program and other resident support services, reinforcing the organization's mission to promote resident economic mobility and self-sufficiency within the northern Alabama public housing portfolio.
