Jobs-plus pilot initiative

The Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office awarded $272,250 to Lenoir Housing Authority on June 1, 2026, under the Resident Opportunity and Supportive Services - Service Coordinators program (CFDA 14.870) to support workforce development and economic self-sufficiency initiatives for public housing residents.

The award funds the Jobs-Plus Pilot Initiative, which provides grant-funded service coordinators who link residents to supportive services needed to achieve economic and housing self-sufficiency. Work is performed in Lenoir, North Carolina, with a period of performance from June 1, 2026, through May 31, 2029. The assistance type is a project grant. Lenoir Housing Authority, a public housing authority serving low-income residents in its jurisdiction, is the recipient and ultimate beneficiary. The competitive renewal application category means renewals are not automatic; HUD reviews applications against criteria published in the NOFO and makes final selection and funding decisions.
