Public and Indian Housing Family Self-Sufficiency Program under the Resident Opportunity and Self-Sufficiency (ROSS) Program
The purpose of the Public Housing FSS (PH FSS) program is to promote the development of local strategies to coordinate the use of assistance under the Public Housing program with public and private resources, enable participating families to increase earned income and financial literacy, reduce or eliminate
the need for welfare assistance, and make progress toward achieving economic independence and housing self-sufficiency.
The FSS program and this FSS NOFA support the Departments strategic goals of helping HUD-assisted renters make progress toward housing self-sufficiency.
The FSS program provides critical tools that can be used by communities to support welfare reform and help families develop new skills that will lead to economic self-sufficiency.
As a result of their participation in the FSS program, many families have achieved stable, well-paid employment, which has made it possible for them to become homeowners or move to other non-assisted housing.
An FSS program coordinator assures that program participants are linked to the supportive services they need to achieve self-sufficiency.
In addition to working directly with families, an FSS Program Coordinator is responsible for building partnership with employers and services providers in the community to help participants obtain jobs and services.

Keeping Half the Profits Beats Non-profits for Social Impact
Melbourne social enterprise Who Gives A Crap sold nearly 3 million rolls of toilet paper in 2014/15 and gave half the proceeds to WaterAid Australia, but co-founder Simon Griffiths says the donation would have been less had the startup adopted a non-profit model when it launched two years ago.
