Federal Grant Award Summary

The Shelbyville Housing Authority received a $163,560 Project Grant from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office under the Resident Opportunity and Self-Sufficiency - Service Coordinators program (CFDA 14.870), effective June 1, 2026 through May 31, 2029. This award funds the hiring and deployment of a service coordinator positioned to assess the needs of HUD-assisted residents and connect them to supportive services that address educational, professional, health, and financial barriers to economic and housing self-sufficiency.

The service coordinator will provide comprehensive case management and needs assessment to residents while facilitating their progression toward self-sufficiency through linkages to training and supportive services. Additionally, the grant provides funding flexibility to deliver direct services where necessary to complement the coordinator's work and support participants' attainment of self-sufficiency goals. The three-year award is place-based and designed to help residents achieve financial, housing, and personal/family stability, with particular emphasis on supporting elderly and disabled residents in aging in place to avoid costlier alternative care arrangements.
