Opportunity Summary:
The Resident Opportunity and Self Sufficiency (ROSS) Service Coordinators Program is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) designed to strengthen supportive services in conventional Public Housing and Indian housing. The core purpose of the program is to fund the hiring and ongoing retention of Service Coordinators who work directly with residents to identify needs, connect them to existing community resources, and help ensure those resources are actually accessed and sustained over time. Rather than funding direct service delivery on its own, the program is built around coordination: assessing resident circumstances, developing service plans, building partnerships with local providers, and tracking progress toward stability and improved outcomes.
The program recognizes that different households have different pathways to stability, so it allows applicants to specify whether their Service Coordinators will serve families, elderly residents, disabled residents, or a mix of these populations. For family-serving coordinators, the long-term objective is economic and housing self-sufficiency. That generally means helping residents increase earned income through employment readiness, job placement and retention supports, connections to training and education programs, and linkages to benefits counseling that can smooth transitions into work. For elderly and disabled-serving coordinators, the emphasis shifts to helping residents maintain independent living and successfully age in place. The goal is to reduce avoidable moves into higher-cost, full-care facilities by coordinating supports such as health and wellness services, transportation, in-home assistance, meal programs, disability-related services, and other community-based resources that keep residents stable in their units.
This particular posting (Funding Opportunity Number FR 5415 N 20; CFDA 14.870) was tied to HUDs FY2010 ROSS Service Coordinators NOFA and carried an estimated total funding amount of $35,000,000. Individual awards were expected to fall within a defined range, with an award floor of $240,000 and an award ceiling of $720,000. The opportunity included a cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants were expected to contribute non-federal resources consistent with the NOFA rules. The funding instrument type was a grant, and the activity category was housing, reflecting that the work is anchored in housing-based service coordination for assisted communities.
Eligible applicants were broad and included Public Housing Agencies (PHAs), tribes and Tribally Designated Housing Entities (TDHEs), and a range of nonprofit organizations, including grassroots, faith-based, and other community-based organizations, as long as they had appropriate resident and/or PHA or tribal support. HUD also included many forms of resident-led entities as eligible, such as Resident Associations (a general umbrella term in the notice), resident councils, resident organizations, city-wide and jurisdiction-wide resident organizations, regional and statewide resident organizations, intermediary resident organizations, resident management corporations, site-based resident organizations, and tribal/TDHE resident groups. The notice also described several eligibility and funding limitations related to prior-year grantees. While 2008 and 2009 grantees could generally apply for 2010 funding, proposals to serve PHAs already served by 2008 or 2009 ROSS Service Coordinator funding were deprioritized in the lottery process, and HUD would not fund projects already served with 2008 or 2009 cycle funds. In addition, site-based Resident Associations that received funding in 2008 or 2009 were not eligible under this NOFA, and no more than three site-based Resident Associations serving a single PHA could be funded through this round.
Administratively, HUD issued a technical correction affecting the deadline. The original application due date was Monday, February 21, 2011, but that date fell on the federal holiday known as Washingtons Birthday (Presidents Day). To ensure applicants were not disadvantaged, HUD extended the deadline to Wednesday, February 23, 2011. Applicants were told they did not need to download a new application package or resubmit solely because of the deadline change. The posting was initially listed on Grants.gov, and the application package and instructions were referenced as available via the CFDA number. For help accessing the full announcement, HUD provided contacts including Anice S. Chenault (202-402-2341) and the NOFA Information Center (1-800-HUD-8929), with TTY access through the Federal Information Relay Service (800-877-8339).
