JOBS-PLUS PILOT INITIATIVE PROJECT GRANT SUMMARY

The Housing Authority of the City of Muskogee (doing business as Muskogee Housing Authority) received a $154,539 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). The award, effective June 1, 2026 through May 31, 2029, funds service coordinators who connect public housing residents in Muskogee and Summit, Oklahoma to supportive services that address barriers to economic and housing self-sufficiency, including educational, professional, and health-related obstacles.

As a designated Public Housing Agency, the Housing Authority serves as a 100% prime recipient administering this federal grant without subcontractors. The service coordination activities support the broader Jobs-Plus Pilot Initiative, which emphasizes employment and community development for low-income residents. The three-year performance period aligns with HUD's recent structured funding approach for this program category, positioning the Housing Authority to deliver sustained resident support services through the established grant period.
