Moines Municipal Housing Agency received funding last year from HUD for a
full-time program coordinator to administer a Housing Choice Voucher Family
Self-Sufficiency Program for Section 8 clients.
The program
coordinator provides individual case management to assist clients in achieving
goals to become self-sufficient. FSS
Coordinators provide training, education, and job development skills to
enrolled clients.
HUD requires

Section 8 clients. The Housing Agency

available through HUD to renew last year’s grant and the grant will cover the
salary and fringe benefits for the one full-time program coordinator.
