JOBS-PLUS PILOT INITIATIVE PROJECT GRANT SUMMARY

The County of Franklin Housing Authority received a $272,249 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, supports the Jobs-Plus Pilot Initiative, which provides service coordination and resident economic mobility programming in Chambersburg, Pennsylvania. Under this three-year initiative, the Housing Authority delivers supportive services designed to link public housing residents to resources that address employment, educational, and professional barriers to economic self-sufficiency and housing stability.

The grant funding enables the Housing Authority to employ service coordinators and implement targeted programming that facilitates resident participation in job training, employment placement, and economic opportunity initiatives. By connecting residents to comprehensive supportive services, the Jobs-Plus Pilot Initiative works to enhance residents' economic trajectories and promote long-term housing stability within the Chambersburg public housing community.
