Federal Project Grant Award Summary

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office awarded Suffolk Redevelopment Housing Authority (SRHA) a Project Grant of $236,384 under the Resident Opportunity and Supportive Services - Service Coordinators program (CFDA 14.870), effective June 1, 2026 through May 31, 2029. This three-year award funds service coordinator positions that link public housing residents to supportive services addressing barriers to economic and housing self-sufficiency, including educational, professional, and health-related obstacles. The grant is structured under the Jobs-Plus Pilot Initiative, which emphasizes employment promotion and resident economic advancement.

Under this award, SRHA will deploy funded service coordinators to connect low-income families, elderly individuals, and persons with disabilities in Suffolk, Virginia with community resources and supportive services to facilitate pathways toward self-sufficiency. The service coordinator positions funded through this grant will work directly with SRHA residents to identify needs, coordinate referrals, and support participation in employment, education, and health initiatives, thereby advancing the program's core objective of enhancing economic mobility and housing stability among the authority's vulnerable populations.
