Opportunity Summary:
The Resident Opportunity and Self-Sufficiency (ROSS) Service Coordinator program is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) designed to help residents living in public housing and Indian housing move toward greater economic stability and long-term housing self-sufficiency. The central aim is practical: support households as they work to increase earned income, rely less on public assistance, and build the skills, connections, and resources needed to maintain stable housing and greater independence over time.
ROSS does this primarily by funding the hiring of Service Coordinators (SCs). These coordinators function as on-the-ground connectors between residents and the supportive services that already exist in the community. The coordinator role focuses on assessing resident needs, creating a plan or pathway toward goals like employment and income growth, and then linking participants to appropriate services such as job training, education, childcare, transportation resources, financial counseling, or other local programs that remove barriers to work and self-sufficiency. Instead of directly providing every service, the program emphasizes coordinated access, case management-style support, and sustained follow-through so residents can actually navigate systems and complete steps that lead to measurable progress.
A key part of the program also addresses the needs of elderly and disabled residents. For these households, the service coordinator model is used to connect people to supportive services that allow them to age in place or remain in their homes safely, delaying or avoiding more expensive institutional or higher-intensity care. In this sense, ROSS is not only about economic mobility for working-age households, but also about stability, health-related supports, and maintaining independence for residents who may have fixed incomes or functional limitations.
This specific opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number FR 6000 N 05) is offered as a grant under the housing funding activity category and is associated with CFDA number 14.870. Eligible applicants include Public Housing Authorities and Indian Housing Authorities, as well as nonprofit organizations (both those with 501(c)(3) status and those without 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education). HUD posted the opportunity on March 31, 2016, with an application closing date of May 16, 2016. The maximum award amount listed is $738,000, and HUD anticipated making around 110 awards, indicating a competitive national program intended to fund a substantial number of local service coordinator positions across different communities.
Overall, the ROSS Service Coordinator program is built around a straightforward strategy: place dedicated staff in housing settings where residents can be engaged consistently, identify obstacles to employment or stability early, and coordinate connections to services that help residents increase income, reduce dependency on welfare assistance, and strengthen their ability to sustain housing over the long run. For elderly and disabled residents, the same coordination approach is aimed at preserving independence and reducing the likelihood of needing more costly care arrangements.
