Applicants Eligible for this Grant: Others (see text field entitled "Additional Information on Eligibility" for clarification)
Additional Information on Eligibility: PHAs eligible to apply for funding under this NOFA are: PHAs currently administering HCV FSS programs that have served at least the minimum number of families required by this NOFA and PHAs that do not currently administer HCV FSS programs that have HUD field office approval of their FSS Action Plan authorizing them to implement a HCV FSS program of at least the minimum size required by this NOFA as identified below. State and regional agencies that administer HCV FSS programs in administratively distinct parts of a state or region may request that the eligibility requirements be applied to each separate area where they administer a HCV FSS program of the required size. To qualify, state and regional PHAs must submit an ad hoc report from PIC or another listing generated from the PHA's software that identifies separate administrative areas and the participating HCV FSS families in those areas. This documentation must be submitted to the applicant's local HUD field office prior to the application deadline.
Grant Description: The purpose of the HCV FSS program is to promote the development of local strategies to coordinate the use of assistance under the HCV program with public and private resources to enable participating families to increase earned income and financial literacy, reduce or eliminate the need for welfare assistance, and make progress toward economic independence and self-sufficiency. The FSS program and this FSS NOFA support the Department's strategic goal of utilizing housing as a platform for improving quality of life by helping HUD-assisted renters increase economic security and self-sufficiency. The FSS program provides critical tools that can be used by communities to help families develop new skills that will lead to economic self-sufficiency. As a result of their participation in the FSS program, many families have achieved stable employment. An FSS program coordinator assures that program participants are linked to the supportive services they need to achieve self-sufficiency. In addition to working directly with families, an FSS Program Coordinator is responsible for building partnership with employers and service providers in the community to help participants obtain jobs and services. FSS Program Coordinators must ensure that the services included in contracts of participation of program participants are provided on a regular, ongoing and satisfactory basis, that participants are fulfilling their responsibilities under the contracts and that FSS escrow accounts are established and properly maintained for eligible families.
