Opportunity Summary:
The Public and Indian Housing Family Self Sufficiency (PH FSS) Program is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) that supports Public Housing Agencies (PHAs) and eligible tribal housing providers in operating and staffing local Family Self-Sufficiency programs tied to public housing assistance. The central aim of the program is to help participating public housing families move toward economic independence by coordinating housing assistance with supportive services and community resources. In practice, this means building local strategies that connect residents to services that can increase earned income, strengthen financial literacy, reduce reliance on welfare or cash assistance, and support longer-term self-sufficiency goals.
Funding under this notice is primarily structured around paying for FSS Coordinator positions, which are the staff roles responsible for running the program and coordinating services for enrolled families. The award ceiling is set at $69,000 per eligible full-time FSS Coordinator position and $34,500 per eligible part-time position. HUD notes that this ceiling also reflects the most recent Public Housing FSS funding amount, signaling that requested funding is expected to align with these per-position limits rather than covering a broad range of unrelated program expenses.
The opportunity was published under Funding Opportunity Number FR-5700-N-08 and is associated with CFDA (now Assistance Listing) 14.877, titled Public Housing Family Self Sufficiency under Resident Opportunity and Supportive Services. The total estimated funding available through this round is $18,000,000. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants are not required to provide a financial match to receive an award.
Eligibility is limited and targeted. Applicants must be PHAs (including Moving to Work PHAs) and Indian tribes or Tribally Designated Housing Entities (TDHEs) that are already administering a Public Housing FSS program. In addition, applicants must have served at least the minimum number of families required by the notice, must meet specific threshold requirements, and must comply with timely receipt and submission rules laid out in the NOFA sections referenced in the announcement. The notice is explicit that nonprofit organizations and resident associations are not eligible to apply under this funding opportunity, and individuals are not eligible either. In other words, this funding is designed to sustain or expand staffing for existing public housing FSS programs operated by eligible housing authorities and tribal housing entities, not to launch brand-new programs by outside organizations.
Key dates for this opportunity show it was posted on September 5, 2013, with an application deadline of October 7, 2013, and an archive date of October 31, 2013. While the competition itself is historical, the listing provides a clear snapshot of how HUD structured PH FSS funding at the time: a national competition with a defined total funding pool, eligibility restricted to existing PH FSS administrators meeting performance and threshold conditions, and awards closely tied to the number and status (full-time or part-time) of eligible FSS Coordinator positions.
For additional official materials, the announcement points applicants to search for the PH FSS funding opportunity using the CFDA number only and provides a program contact for questions about requirements: Anice Schervish Chenault, referenced as the point of contact for PH FSS program requirement questions.
