Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS) Program
Public housing and HCV families achieve self-sufficiency over a five to seven year period towards ending dependency on all public benefits, such as welfare, food stamps, medical assistance, and child care subsidies.
Other Affordable Housing Options
These are additional affordable housing programs; some of which offer below-market rents and others which base their rent on 30% of the household income. Some of these housing programs are not HOC-related. In addition, each program and/or development maintains its own waiting list, income requirements and application process. Therefore, you must call each apartment complex directly for information and/or to request an application.
