Project Grant ROSS262168

The Housing Authority of Evergreen received a $272,250 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 a completion date of May 31, 2029. This three-year award, structured under the Jobs-Plus Pilot Initiative, funds service coordinators who provide linkages between public housing residents and supportive services designed to address barriers to economic and housing self-sufficiency. The service coordinators will connect residents in Evergreen, Alabama to educational, professional, and health-related resources to facilitate pathways toward greater economic independence and housing stability.

The program supports the Housing Authority's mission to serve low-income residents, including elderly residents and families with children, by removing systemic obstacles to self-sufficiency through coordinated access to community resources and support systems. The three-year performance period allows sustained engagement with residents to implement comprehensive supportive service strategies aligned with HUD's broader economic self-sufficiency objectives for public housing populations.
