The Montgomery Housing Authority Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS) Program is a voluntary employment and savings incentive program designed to assist families in becoming economically independent and self-sufficient within a five (5) year timeframe. All Montgomery Housing Authority public housing residents and HCV voucher holders with a desire to improve their family’s financial situation through additional education, job training, life skills training, and coaching are eligible to participate in the Family Self-Sufficiency Program.

Program Highlights:

• No cost to participate
• Receive one-on-one case management support and resources to achieve goals
• An escrow savings account is established when earned income increases. MHA rewards you by placing monies into an escrow savings account as long as your earned income remains higher than when you began the program
• Ability to request and receive funds from the escrow savings account before completing the program to assist with purchases related to achieving goals. Funds may be requested to make purchases related to education, job training, transportation, homeownership, and starting a business
