Project Grant ROSS262206

The City of Jeffersonville Housing Authority received a $272,250 Project Grant award effective June 1, 2026, from the 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). This award funds the JOBS-Plus Pilot Initiative, a workforce development program structured as a three-year project with an ultimate completion date of May 31, 2029. The grant supports service coordinators who link public housing residents to supportive services designed to address educational, professional, and health barriers to economic and housing self-sufficiency.

The JOBS-Plus Pilot Initiative leverages the service coordinator model to facilitate resident employment and self-sufficiency outcomes within the Housing Authority's public housing portfolio serving low-income families, elderly residents, and persons with disabilities in the Watson, Indiana service area. Service coordinators funded through this award will connect residents with resources and supportive services necessary to achieve economic stability and housing self-sufficiency, aligning with HUD's broader mission to promote resident opportunity and economic independence within federally assisted housing communities.
