HUD is now pleased to offer hands-on group learning and individualized technical assistance (TA) to our multifamily assisted housing owners and management agents to help them implement a Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS) program. The Request for Interest (RFI) and short application can be found here. The submission deadline date is October 8, 2019. For more information and an opportunity to ask questions about the TA offer, register for a webinar facilitated by HUD and our TA providers on September 25, 2019 from 2:00 – 3:00 PM EDT. Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS) is a HUD program that provides incentives and supports to help families living in multifamily assisted housing increase their earned income and reduce their dependence on public assistance programs. FSS promotes the development of local strategies to coordinate the use of HUD rental assistance programs with public and private resources, to enable eligible families to make progress toward economic independence and self-sufficiency.
HUD has issued a request for comments on implementation of additional provisions of the Housing Opportunity Through Modernization ACT (HOTMA). This implementation will enact asset limits for HUD’s Multifamily programs. We will present further information when we are able to fully read the proposed regulations.
