INFORMATION:
The City of Des
Moines Municipal Housing Agency received funding last year from HUD for a
part-time program coordinator to administer a Public Housing Family
Self-Sufficiency Program for Public Housing residents.
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.
As a requirement
for submitting a grant application for funding this year, housing agencies must
have a Fair Housing Addendum for their Family Self-Sufficiency Program included
in their Admissions and Continued Occupancy Policy for the Public Housing
Program.
The amendment
adds language to the Admissions and Continued Occupancy Policy that references
the Fair Housing Addendum. The Fair
Housing Addendum outlines steps the housing agency will take to further fair
housing in the Public Housing Family Self-Sufficiency Program.
