On February 27, HUD announced $36 million in funding awards to public housing authorities and other grantees through the agency’s Resident Opportunities and Self-Sufficiency-Service Coordinators program (ROSS-SC). The awards will allow grantees to hire or retain service coordinators who help connect public housing residents with crucial resources like employment training, financial literacy services, educational opportunities, and health and wellness programs.
Nine CLPHA members received awards: the Sacramento County Redevelopment & Housing Agency, Elm City Communities, Housing Authority of Baltimore City, Boston Housing Authority, New York City Housing Authority, Housing Authority of the City of Goldsboro, Cuyahoga Metropolitan Housing Authority, Norfolk Redevelopment and Housing Authority, and King County Housing Authority. Congratulations to these PHAs, who together received over $3.8 million in ROSS-SC grants!
