Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS)

Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS) is a critical element to the future of the Housing Choice Program. Gain or refresh your knowledge of the elements needed to create a successful FSS program through participating in a FSS laboratory. Here you will discover how to classify the dynamics of case management, including dissecting regulations to insure proper reporting, measuring the logic model and collecting data, and creating a linkage from Section 8 to Homeownership. Learn to generate a positive image through creative marketing and media usage. Find out how to create a support system, forming a non-profit organization, to assist with future FSS funding. Includes a proficiency exam. (1.3 CEUs)

“Coming into this course, I had very little knowledge of the Family Self-Sufficiency program. Dennis was very patient and assisted participants of all knowledge levels.”
