Opportunity Summary:
The Public Housing Family Self Sufficiency (PH FSS) grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number FR 5200 N 09) is a discretionary HUD grant designed to help public housing residents move toward long-term economic stability. The program focuses on building local, coordinated strategies that connect Public Housing assistance with a wider network of public and private resources. The core idea is to help participating families increase their earned income, reduce or eliminate reliance on welfare assistance, and make measurable progress toward economic independence and housing self sufficiency. HUD frames this opportunity as part of its broader strategic goal of helping HUD assisted renters gain the tools and support needed to become self sufficient.
A central feature of PH FSS is the role of the FSS program coordinator. Funding supports coordinators who ensure that families enrolled in FSS are effectively linked to supportive services such as job training, education, childcare, transportation assistance, financial literacy, and other services that remove barriers to employment and advancement. The program is positioned as a practical community tool that complements welfare reform by helping families gain skills and access opportunities that can lead to stable, better paying employment. HUD notes that successful participation has allowed many families to transition into homeownership or move into housing that is not subsidized, reflecting the program’s emphasis on upward mobility and sustained independence.
For FY 2008, HUD anticipated awarding approximately 12 million dollars in total under this notice of funding availability (NOFA). The opportunity falls under the Housing funding activity category and is listed under CFDA 14.877, Public Housing Family Self Sufficiency, within the broader Resident Opportunity and Supportive Services framework. Cost sharing or matching is required, meaning applicants should be prepared to contribute or document matching resources as part of the grant requirements.
Eligibility is limited to entities that administer low rent public housing programs, specifically Public Housing Agencies (PHAs) and tribes or Tribally Designated Housing Entities (TDHEs). Both new and renewal applicants are required to have an approved PH FSS Action Plan on file with their local HUD field office or the appropriate Area Office of Native American Programs (ONAP) before the application deadline. This requirement signals that HUD expects applicants to have a defined, locally tailored plan for operating FSS, including service coordination and partnerships, rather than proposing a program from scratch without prior approval.
Key dates for this opportunity include a posted and creation date of May 4, 2008, with an application deadline (closing date) of July 18, 2008, and an archive date of July 19, 2008. The listing references an award ceiling of 12,000,000, reflecting the total expected funding level noted in the announcement. For applicants needing assistance with accessing the full announcement, HUD provided a program contact: Anice Schervish at 202-402-2341.
