Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS) Program grants fund salaries and fringe benefits for FSS coordinators who enroll and maintain families in the program and prepare individual training and services plans; the Authority holds FSS awards covering periods January through December in multiple years. Continuum of Care (CoC) program grants support permanent supportive housing, rapid rehousing, transitional housing, supportive services, and homeless management information systems to address homelessness in the Duluth area; the Authority received CoC funding for October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026.
