FSS Program Statistical Review

Family Self Sufficiency is a work incentive program for our Section 8
clients, to assist them in attaining life sustaining employment, with the
goal of leaving assistance and achieving home ownership. Through their
employment efforts, clients can amass an "escrow account" that becomes a
nest egg to help them establish themselves when they successfully complete
the FSS Program and leave assistance.
