Resident Opportunities & Self-Sufficiency (ROSS) and Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS) Programs JCHA has been a successful recipient of ROSS and FSS awards from HUD for decades. These federal grants allow JCHA to hire program staff to support residents in achieving self-identified goals. ROSS service coordinators conduct confidential intakes and needs assessments to help public housing residents develop self-sufficiency goals and identify barriers. Then they provide referrals to appropriate services and on-going case management. Learn more about ROSS by clicking here . Currently, residents at Berry Gardens, Booker T Washington, Holland Gardens, and Hudson Gardens can access the ROSS program. FSS program staff provide similar services to Housing Choice Voucher participants but with an added incentive: the FSS grant enables participants to fund interest-bearing escrow accounts established by JCHA with increases in a participant’s earned income, which can later be used if they meet their self-sufficiency goals (e.g., funds can be put toward a down payment on a home or used for college tuition). Learn more about FSS by clicking here .

College Tuition Assistance 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, Laura Gadsden has to say:
