Jobs-plus pilot initiative

The Department of Housing and Urban Development Public and Indian Housing Office awarded the Ithaca Housing Authority $272,250 on June 1, 2026, under the Resident Opportunity and Supportive Services - Service Coordinators program (CFDA 14.870), a competitive project grant supporting service coordinators who link public housing residents to supportive services addressing economic and housing self-sufficiency needs.

The Ithaca Housing Authority Community Services Division will deliver the funded work at its headquarters in Ithaca, New York, over a three-year period of performance from June 1, 2026, through May 31, 2029. The program funds coordinator salaries and fringe benefits to enroll and support residents in employment and training services. The authority administers public housing operations and modernization programs exclusively through HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office and operates as a prime grant recipient with no subcontractors in its federal footprint.
