HUD AWARDS $1.5 MILLION TO HELP FAMILIES IMPROVE THEIR ECONOMIC WELL-BEING

摘要

HUD has awarded approximately $1.5 million to 13 public housing authorities (PHAs) to help residents of public housing and voucher-assisted housing increase their earned income and savings. HUD's Family Self -Sufficiency (FSS) Program funding helps local PHAs to hire Service Coordinators who work directly with residents to connect them with existing programs and services in the local community. These Service Coordinators build relationships with networks of local service providers, who provide direct assistance to FSS participants. The broad spectrum of services made possible through FSS enables participating families to find jobs, increase earned income, and access opportunities to improve their long-term economic well-being.
