Family Self-Sufficiency
The FSS Program is a voluntary 5-year program that helps families receiving housing assistance become financially independent. Participants receive support to improve financial skills, find employment, and increase income.
How it works
FSS participants work with a Coordinator to set goals and access resources for employment, education, and financial growth. A major benefit is the Escrow Account: as your earned income increases, a portion is deposited into a savings account managed by HATC. Escrow funds can only be accessed upon successful completion of the program and achievement of your goals.
Eligibility
To join the FSS Program, you must:
- Be a current HATC resident in good standing (HCV, PBRA, FUP, FUPY, VASH, or EHV)
- Be motivated to achieve self-sufficiency
- Commit to working on goals like employment, education, and budgeting
Benefits
There are many benefits to participating in the FSS program. From financial education to career development, HATC works to make sure you're on the best track to achieving self-sufficiency.
