The term "Resident Association" or "RA" will be generally used to refer to all types of eligible resident reorganizations. Please see the section on "Definition of Terms" for a complete definition of each type of eligible resident organization. In general, 2008 and 2009 Grantees are eligible to apply for 2010 funding. However, applications to serve PHAs that are being served by a 2008 or 2009 grantee will receive lower status in the lottery than applicants to serve PHAs that are not being served by any 2008 or 2009 ROSS-SC funding. Funding will not be granted to serve projects that are served with funding from the 2008 or 2009 cycle. Site-Based Resident Associations that received funding in 2008 or 2009 will not be eligible for funding under this NOFA. A maximum of three site-based Resident Associations serving any one PHA will be funded through this NOFA.
Grant Description: The purpose of the ROSS Service Coordinator program is to provide funding to hire and maintain Service Coordinators who will assess the needs of residents of conventional Public Housing or Indian housing and coordinate available resources in the community to meet those needs. The ultimate goal of a Family Service Coordinator is to assist families to increase earned income and move towards economic and housing self-sufficiency. The ultimate goal of an Elderly/Disabled Service Coordinator is to ensure that residents can maintain independent living and age-in-place in their units and avoid placement in a full-care facility to the greatest extent possible. Applicants will indicate if their Service Coordinators will serve families, elderly residents, or a mix of both.
