Opportunity Summary:
The Public Housing Family Self Sufficiency (FSS) grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number FR 5300 N 09) is a discretionary grant program run by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) under CFDA 14.877, Public Housing Family Self Sufficiency under Resident Opportunity and Supportive Services. Its main purpose is to fund Program Coordinator salary costs so public housing agencies can operate and manage Family Self Sufficiency services for residents living in conventional public housing. In practical terms, the grant is designed to support the staffing capacity needed to coordinate supportive services that help public housing residents pursue employment goals, increase earned income, and build longer-term self-sufficiency.
The core focus of the funding is administrative and service coordination rather than direct financial help to residents. The grant pays for Program Coordinators who run the FSS program locally, connect participating households with workforce development and education resources, and coordinate the network of supportive services that can remove barriers to work. The overall intent is to help families move toward stable employment and economic independence while living in public housing, using an organized case-management style approach anchored by the FSS program structure.
Eligibility is narrow and is emphasized in the announcement: only Public Housing Authorities (PHAs) that administer conventional public housing are eligible to apply. This is not a program for individuals, and it is not a general funding source for organizations that are not PHAs operating conventional public housing units. The listing notes eligible applicants as "Others" with clarification provided in the eligibility text, which specifies Public Housing Authorities. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants are not required to contribute a specified non-federal match as a condition of the award.
HUD expected to make approximately 200 awards under this competition. The opportunity is categorized under the Housing funding activity category, and the funding instrument type is a grant. The announcement was posted on June 15, 2009, with an application closing date of August 11, 2009, and it was archived on August 12, 2009. Applicants looking for the full announcement and related materials were directed to HUD's Funds Available web page, and the program contact listed for help accessing the full announcement was Anice Schervish, MSW, ROSS Program Manager, at 202-402-2341.
In short, this opportunity supports the staffing backbone of FSS programs in conventional public housing by funding Program Coordinator salaries, so PHAs can better organize partnerships and services that help residents prepare for work, find jobs, and progress toward self-sufficiency. It is strictly an organizational grant for eligible PHAs and should not be confused with direct assistance to individual households.
