FSS Program

FSS is a voluntary program that coordinates housing assistance with public and private resources to enable assisted families to achieve economic self-sufficiency. Through the FSS program, one can develop job skills, education, and training needs to attain monetary independence, obtain goals and accomplishments. The participants work with a program coordinator to assess their strengths, identify barriers, set goals, and work to achieve them. This assistance is provided to participants and their families for up to five years. Once the participants and the coordinators develop a plan, received from AHA is given to identify educational and employment goals. Activities and services are outlined to achieve these goals. HUD's definition of Self Sufficiency is no longer receiving housing choice vouchers, public or Indian housing assistance, or and federal, state, or local rental assistance and or homeownership subsidies.
