FSS Information
Family Self-Sufficiency
Program (FSS)
The National Affordable Housing Act created the Family Self-Sufficiency
(FSS) program. FSS mobilizes HUD housing assistance to leverage public
and private sector resources that can help residents of assisted housing
achieve economic independence. Use of housing as a stabilizing force
permits the family to invest their energy and efforts-including employment,
education, and job training- that are necessary to achieve self-sufficiency.

FSS represents a bold
approach to helping families leave the welfare system or low-paying
jobs, and achieve economic self-sufficiency. The overriding theme
of the FSS program is to empower people to take control of their lives
by becoming independent, productive members of their communities.
Current FSS Success
• Since 1999, the FSS program has had 53 graduates.
• The Muncie Housing Authority has paid out over $194,423.00
in escrow accounts to its graduates
• During their 5 year contract period, many participants have
obtained Associate Degrees, obtained full time employment in desired
fields and others have entered the Homeownership Program.
• We have 25 FSS Participants with Escrow accounts.
• We now have seven (7) participants in the Homeownership Program.

Barlow, for more information.
