Jobs-plus pilot initiative

The Department of Housing and Urban Development Public and Indian Housing Office awarded $272,250 to Elk County Housing Authority on June 1, 2026, under the Resident Opportunity and Supportive Services - Service Coordinators program (CFDA 14.870). The award funds the JOBS-PLUS Pilot Initiative and carries a period of performance through May 31, 2029. Work is performed in Johnsonburg, Pennsylvania.

The program addresses economic and housing self-sufficiency needs of public and Indian housing residents by providing grant-funded service coordinators who link residents to supportive services needed to achieve economic and housing self-sufficiency. Elk County Housing Authority is a local government entity and public housing agency that operates exclusively as a grant recipient under HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office, with no subcontracting relationships. The Housing Authority's broader federal portfolio consists of 62 awards totaling $16.4 million obligated, primarily through Public Housing Operating Fund and Public Housing Capital Fund formula grants supporting operational expenses and modernization of public housing inventory.
