Family Self-Sufficiency

Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS) is a program that helps families using government housing support achieve economic independence. It offers services like job training, education, and financial management to increase earning potential. When families successfully improve their income and self-sufficiency, they can earn more without losing their housing benefits. Instead, the savings are typically deposited into an escrow account to support future goals such as education or homeownership. FSS aims to empower families to become stable, self-reliant, and financially secure, reducing reliance on public assistance over time.
