Family Self Sufficiency Program
The purpose of our family Self-Sufficiency program (FSS) is to provide an opportunity for families to achieve economic independence by providing training and housing to enrolled participants. Ultimately it’s to help individuals get on their feet and out of subsidized housing. We provide rental counseling, first time homebuyer classes, financial coaching, budget and credit coaching and life skill training in order to support their goals and dreams of becoming self -sufficient.
