The Family Self-Sufficiency Program was created by HUD for low-income families and individuals of Public Housing or the Housing Choice Voucher Program. It was designed to assist residents with setting goals and developing a plan to achieve economic independence by linking locally available resources and supportive services necessary to overcome obstacles preventing self-sufficiency to FSS program participants.

The Family Self-Sufficiency Program encompasses a case management component that works to provide comprehensive services to residents who seek to:

  • Find Employment
  • Increase their Income
  • Complete their Education
  • Become better at managing their finances and build financial capability
  • Acquire Assets such as a home, savings account, small business, or vehicle
