Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS) Achieve is a voluntary program designed to help participants set and achieve personal goals that will help with gaining economic security and skills that will enhance growth for individuals and families of those who participate.

Case managers will provide guidance and connections that will help you to be successful in meeting those goals.

There is also a financial incentive for completing this program. When enrolled in this program, some increases in your rent will go directly into an escrow (managed savings) account. After graduation you will be given this money to use as you see fit to improve your quality of life.
