Family Self-Sufficiency Program
The Grand Junction Housing Authority’s Family Self-Sufficiency program (FSS) provides supportive services and case management to Housing Choice Voucher program families who seek to make the transition from public assistance to productive employment and economic self sufficiency.

The U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development requires Housing Authorities that provide Housing Choice Vouchers to operate an FSS program to help families move from a government housing subsidy to economic self-sufficiency.  The FSS Program Coordinator recruits current Housing Choice Voucher program participants and assists them with goal setting, counseling, emotional support, crisis intervention and problem solving in order to help them develop job skills, motivate them to seek and retain employment, and eventually become self sufficient.
