FAMILY self-sufficiency

Promoting employment that will lead to economic independence and self-sufficiency, the Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS) program focuses on the family’s determination, motivation, written goals, and their decision to make a change.

Families participating in the Housing Choice Voucher program voluntarily enter into a partnership with Housing Works. They work with community service agencies, schools, businesses, and other local partners to develop an action plan to achieve their personal goals. The action plan guides the participating FSS family members in acquiring the knowledge, skills and experience they need to enable them to obtain employment that pays a living wage.

Our staff, administration, and Board of Commissioners salute FSS graduates and current program participants. Through their hard work and commitment to reach their goals, these individuals have and will reach their goals. We are privileged to be involved in their success.

Is Family Self-Sufficiency for you?

If you answer “yes” to any of these questions, the FSS program may be for you!

    * Do you want to change your life for the better, but you’re not sure where to get the help you need?

    * Do you have a goal or dream you want to achieve?

    * Are you ready, able, and willing to work?

    * Do you want to increase your income?

    * Would you like to build assets to make your dream come true?

How to Join the Family

The Family Self-Sufficiency program can help you get there. If you want to earn more income, become independent of the Housing Choice Voucher program and other assistance, FSS can assist you with:

    * Setting goals

    * Job search or job training

    * Establishing a savings account (without depositing money!)

    * Repairing bad credit

    * Preparing to buy your own home

    * And much, much more!
