Nachbar (03/29/12) RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the Housing Authority Board approve the submission of the Family Self Sufficiency Program Grant to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. BACKGROUND: Family Self Sufficiency Program The Cranston-Gonzales National Affordable Housing Act (Act) of 1990, Section 554, enacted the Family Self Sufficiency (FSS) Program which is implemented by the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). FSS is a voluntary program designed to enable families receiving Section 8 rental assistance to become economically independent from all forms of public assistance within a five (5) year time frame. As part of the goal of achieving economic independence, the FSS Program carries a financial incentive in the form of the establishment of an escrow account which the family receives upon their graduation from the program. DISCUSSION: Family Self Sufficiency Coordinator Grant City of Culver City, California Agenda Item Report The purpose of this grant application is to fund a FSS Program Coordinator, who oversees the case management and supportive services coordination for FSS Program participants. The Culver City Housing Authority (CCHA) is committed to providing programs and progressive options for empowering and improving the lives of those we serve. Based on this premise, staff recommends the Authority Board approve submission of the FSS Coordinator Grant application in the amount of $69,000.00 to HUD to support the efforts of the FSS program. The Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2011 allows funding for program coordinators under the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) FSS program under Section 23 of the United States Housing Act of 1937. Through the annual Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA), HUD provides funding to public housing agencies (PHAs) that are operating Section 8 HCV FSS programs to enable those PHAs to employ program coordinators to support their Section 8 HCV FSS programs. For 2012, this NOFA announces the availability of approximately $60 million nationwide. A funding maximum of $69,000 is available for each full-time FSS coordinator position. It is anticipated that award announcements will take place by September 30, 2012. Successful applicants will receive an award letter from HUD. Status- Culver City FSS Program The FSS Program Coordinator is responsible for the following activities: • Conducting intake interviews. • Assessing the skills, abilities, needs, resources of families. • Identifying realistic goals and developing tasks and milestones to accomplish goals. • Identifying and coordinating resources and services needed by the family. • Monitoring and documenting the family’s progress to goals in the client’s contract. • Coordinating/conducting recruitment of FSS participants • Organizing economic-enrichment seminars such as preparing for homeownership, consumer credit counseling, and job interview skills. • Conducting a survey to determine the program success Since 1999, the CCHA has applied for and been awarded funding by HUD for the FSS program. Through the submission of this grant to HUD, the CCHA hopes to be awarded approximately $69,000.00 for 2012 FSS activities. This amount covers one (1) full time position as an FSS Coordinator. On June 27, 2011 the Council approved a contract with St. Joseph’s Center (SJC) to function as the FSS Coordinator for the Culver City program. If awarded, the 2012 FSS grant will be earmarked to support the continuation of the contract with SJC upon Authority Board approval. City of Culver City, California Agenda Item Report FISCAL ANALYSIS: If awarded by HUD, the CCHA will secure $69,000.00 in funding to support one (1) full time position to administer the FSS Program.

LINE (310) 253-5781 FAX (310) 253-5785 TEVIS BARNES Housing Programs Administrator March 14, 2012 Since 1999, the Culver City Housing Authority (CCHA) has been awarded funding for a Family Self Sufficiency (FSS) Coordinator position which has afforded our agency the ability to assist our Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher participants achieve their goal of self sufficiency. Through the years, fifty-one (51) households have participated in FSS. Of this number, fifteen (15) have graduated by completing their Contract of Participation (COP). On April 2, 2012 our most recent graduate, G. Najarro will be awarded an escrow check for $12,327.75 followed by a commendation by the Culver City Housing Authority Commission. Additionally, approximately thirty-six (36) have generated escrow accounts which are an indication of increase in wage earned income. These escrow accounts have totaled over $126,000 with some being as high as $27,780.40. The CCHA is approved to enroll up to twenty-five (25) participants in our FSS Program. Currently, twenty-five (25) households are enrolled in the FSS Program. Monthly reports from October 2010-September 2011 are included in this grant application and provide information that is accurate showing a program size of 25 in September 2011. According to the HUD posted report that shows PIC data of existing HCV FSS programs for the specified time period, the total number of families under contract is incorrect at 16. Please review the attached documentation. The CCHA utilizes Saint Joseph Center to conduct FSS case management and is diligently working with this organization. The CCHA continues to strive toward excellence in effectively and efficiently administering the FSS program. If you have any questions you may contact me at (310) 253-5780.

In Progress: FSS Coordinator continues to solicit possible FSS participants via mail and telephone and by referrals from the City of Culver City Housing Assistants, Teresa Williams and Pamela Jackson.
