Program: Family Self-Sufficiency Program (FSS)

Agency: MERIDEN HOUSING AUTHORITY


Resource Number: 17315185
Description
Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS) program provides assistance to households holding a Section 8 Voucher from Meriden Housing Authority. Families agree to a program contract and work with the FSS Coordinator to achieve self-sufficiency in five years. Program components may include continuing education, specialized training, job readiness and job placement activities. When the family meets its goals and completes its FSS contract, the family becomes eligible to receive funds that have been deposited into an escrow account on its behalf throughout the family's participation in the FSS program. The amount credited to the family's account is based on increases in the family's earned income during the term of the FSS contract. The homeownership component of the FSS program allows first-time homeowners to use their Section 8 Voucher subsidy to meet monthly homeownership expenses.
