North Charleston HSG Authority

The North Charleston Housing Authority is a non-profit organization registered in SAM.gov, located at 6327 Rivers Ave in North Charleston, South Carolina. As a public housing authority, the organization focuses on providing housing assistance and supportive services to low-income families in the North Charleston area. Its primary federal engagement involves administering the Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS) program through grant awards from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office, which supports housing and economic mobility for vulnerable populations.

Through its federal grant awards, the North Charleston Housing Authority specifically manages the Family Self-Sufficiency program, receiving annual project grants totaling $223,998 in recent years. These grants fund salary and fringe benefits for FSS coordinators who implement critical support services for families in public housing, Housing Choice Vouchers, and Project-Based Rental Assistance properties. The coordinators' responsibilities include enrolling and maintaining program participants, developing individual training and service plans, connecting families to employment resources, and helping participants increase earned income while reducing welfare dependency. Each grant requires the housing authority to maintain a minimum of 25 participating families per funded coordinator position, with a focus on long-term economic empowerment through individualized support, job training, and community partnerships that help families achieve self-sufficiency over a 5-7 year period.
