Family Self Sufficiency Program for Public Housing Resident & Housing Choice Voucher Clients
The Public Housing Family Self Sufficiency Program assist families that are unemployed or underemployed to obtained employment that will allow them to become self- sufficient, that is, not dependent on welfare assistance.
Participation in the FSS Program is voluntary.
Families entering the FSS Program work with the FSS Coordinator to develop goals that will, over a five (5) year period, lead to self-sufficiency. These goals may include education, specialized training, job readiness and job placement activities, and career advancement objectives. Goals for each participating family member are set out in Individual Training and Services Plans that are attached to the FSS Contract of Participation.
When the family meets its goals and completes its FSS contract, the family becomes eligible to receive funds deposited in an escrow account on its behalf through the family’s participation in the FSS Program. The amount credited to the family’s escrow account is based on increases in the family’s earned income during the term of the FSS contract.
