Federal Grant Award Summary

The Housing Authority of Birmingham District received a $544,500 Project Grant from the U.S. 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 completion scheduled for May 31, 2029. This award is structured under the Jobs-Plus Pilot Initiative, a three-year demonstration program designed to enhance economic and housing self-sufficiency outcomes for public housing residents.

Under this grant, the Housing Authority will deploy service coordinators to connect public housing residents with supportive services that address barriers to economic mobility and housing stability, including educational, employment, and health-related services. Service coordinators function as crucial linkages between residents and community resources, facilitating access to programs and services that support residents' pathways toward self-sufficiency. This funding supports personnel costs and related expenses necessary to establish and maintain service coordination infrastructure serving the Birmingham public housing portfolio through the three-year performance period.
