Federal Grant Award Summary

The Syracuse Housing Authority 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. This grant funds service coordinator positions structured under the Jobs-Plus Pilot Initiative through May 31, 2029. The service coordinators will link public housing residents to supportive services designed to address educational, professional, and health-related barriers to economic and housing self-sufficiency.

The grant supports employment and economic mobility services for Syracuse Housing Authority's approximately 17,000 low-income residents across 3,000 public housing units. Service coordinators funded through this award will facilitate connections between residents and community resources aimed at fostering self-sufficiency and improving resident outcomes. This project aligns with HUD's broader initiative to enhance supportive services infrastructure within the public housing portfolio and represents a competitive award under a program that has sustained high activity levels, with an average of approximately 130 awards annually across the nation.
