Opportunity Summary:
The Family Self Sufficiency (FSS) Program Coordinators grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number FR 5800 N 08) is a discretionary HUD grant designed to support the staffing capacity needed to run and expand Family Self-Sufficiency services tied to Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) and Public Housing (PH) assistance. The core goal of the FSS program is to help assisted households move toward economic independence by coordinating housing assistance with a broader network of public and private resources. In practical terms, this funding is meant to help agencies organize local partnerships and service coordination that can increase participants earned income, build financial literacy, reduce reliance on welfare assistance, and support long-term self-sufficiency.
This competition was administered by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development under CFDA 14.896 (Family Self Sufficiency Program). The funding instrument is a grant, and the activity category is housing. HUD anticipated making about 750 awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $75,000,000. The award ceiling is listed as $69,000, with no stated award floor (effectively $0). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants are not required to contribute matching funds as a condition of receiving an award.
Eligibility is limited to specific housing entities already engaged in FSS administration and meeting defined performance and participation thresholds. Eligible applicants include Public Housing Agencies (PHAs), including Moving to Work (MTW) PHAs, that are currently administering an HCV FSS program or a PH FSS program. Indian tribes and Tribally Designated Housing Entities (TDHEs) that are currently administering a PH FSS program may also apply. Beyond simply being an eligible entity type, applicants must have served at least the minimum number of FSS families required by the Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA), must meet general threshold requirements and program threshold requirements described in the NOFA, and must submit the application on time according to HUDs stated submission rules.
Because funding was limited, HUD further narrowed who could compete. Applicants were only eligible if they met at least one of these conditions: they previously received funding under the FY 2011, FY 2012, and/or FY 2013 HCV FSS and/or PH FSS NOFAs; they obtained an FSS program through a transfer or consolidation from a PHA that had been funded under those earlier NOFAs; or they made a commitment to provide vouchers under RADs Choice Mobility Commitment to a covered PBRA project of a PHA or Mod Rehab owner without a voucher program (HUD referenced this as part of its funding priority categories and pointed to an appendix list of prior funded/qualified applicants). HUD also made clear that individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorship organizations were not eligible.
The application timeline shows the opportunity was posted and created on April 23, 2014, with an original and current closing date of May 29, 2014. HUD required electronic applications to be submitted by 11:59:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. The opportunity was later archived on June 28, 2014. Applicants looking for the full announcement and supporting materials were directed to HUDs funding opportunities page, and a point of contact was provided for access issues: Brianna Benner at Brianna.M.Benner@hud.gov.
