This department is offering the Family Self-Sufficiency Program grant to promote coordination of assistance under the HCV and PH programs with public and private resources. The goal is to help families increase earned income, enhance financial literacy, reduce dependence on welfare, and progress towards economic independence. PHAs or tribes/TDHEs can enter into five-year contracts with new families to outline program terms and responsibilities. The FSS programs are tailored to meet local needs and resources, with a focus on supporting all eligible families, not just those deemed most likely to succeed based on current circumstances. Application deadline: Jul 27, 2015.

| Description: | The purpose of the FSS program is to promote the development of local strategies to coordinate the use of assistance under the HCV and PH programs with public and private resources to enable participating families to increase earned income and financial literacy, reduce or eliminate the need for welfare assistance, and make progress toward economic independence and self-sufficiency. PHAs ortribes/Tribally Designated Housing Entities (TDHEs) that administer FSS programs enter into five-year contracts with new families on an ongoing basis. The FSS contract spells out the terms and conditionsgoverning participation and the responsibilities of both the PHA (or tribe/TDHE) and the family. As required by the FSS statute and regulations, each FSS program reflects local needs and resources. PHAsare not permitted to limit FSS participation to those families most likely to succeed because of current education level or job history. |
