Family Self-Sufficiency Program

The FSS programs supports efforts by The JCHA’s strategic goal to help residents make progress toward economic security and self-sufficiency. Families are provided opportunities for education, job training, counseling, and other forms of social services, so that they may obtain the education, employment, business and social skills necessary to achieve self-sufficiency. Once enrolled in the FSS program, the JCHA also provides participants with an FSS escrow account.

​

The escrow account provides a financial incentive for participants to increase their earnings as well as a way for participants to build savings. While enrolled in FSS, participants can also work on improving their credit, building savings, budgeting, and strengthening their financial knowledge.

​

An FSS participant is eligible to graduate from the program and receive the full amount that has accrued in the escrow account when they have completed all the obligations under the Contract of Participation before the expiration of the Contract, as well as any other goals established by the participant.

​

FSS builds loyalty and economic capacity among residents. Residents appreciate being actively engaged in a forward-looking program designed to help them make progress toward economic security.

This is what FSS Program Graduate,
