FSS Program Contra Costa County Housing Authority This program assists families to achieve economic self-sufficiency through education and planning.

To create partnerships with public and private agencies to provide quality supportive services to Housing Choice Voucher participants. The expectation from these partnerships is the ability to provide referrals for supportive services including, but not limited to, childcare, employment, education, life skills, and homeownership. The combined support of housing assistance and supportive services will enable the FSS participants to meet the goals defined in their FSS contract and to move toward achieving financial independence and self-sufficiency. To provide families with stable rental assistance support while in the FSS program, allowing them to participate in employment education and job training programs without undue concern regarding their ability to retain shelter for the continued welfare and safety of their families. To provide participating families with an opportunity to save for the future through the establishment of an interest–bearing escrow account.

We know that this year has been especially hard for many of our families, and uncertainty is on the rise about the fate of some federal programs. However, we want to assure our families that the FSS Program is here to support you through your ups and downs, financially and emotionally.

In 2025, the FSS Program hired two new FSS Coordinators to help with getting on top of case management appointments and enrolling participants, and the HACCC has been funded a total of 4 slots from HUD due to our enrollment numbers.

Speaking of enrollment, the team enrolled 59 participants who have aspirations of increasing their earned income and saving money!

And, in line with the team’s commitment to help families achieve their ITSP goals, we disbursed over $64,000 to current FSS participants. Though these funds come from those who forfeited their escrow upon being exited from the program, the money is put to good use to help participants pay for school, car repairs, or job training programs.

In 2025, the team graduated 17 participants and disbursed $412,000 to graduates for an average of $24,000 per family. Wow!

We also helped 2 FSS graduates close on their homes with the HCV Homeownership Program, and 2 graduates left assistance to purchase a home *on their own*!

This year, graduates said that their greatest incentive to complete the FSS Program was to prepare for homeownership, save money through the escrow account, and push themselves to achieve their career goals. The most difficult obstacles were time management, saving money, and rebuilding credit, yet they overcame.

As we move into 2026, these are OUR New Years’ Resolutions:
- Hold in-person FSS Orientations again in East, Central, and West County
- Enroll 50 participants
- Graduate 20 participants
- Sign up 4 participants for KP School of Allied Health Sciences Phlebotomy Program
- Establish an FSS Coordinator Worker of the Day available at the Martinez HCV Office to answer any program questions from current FSS participants and those interested in joining

If you’re a current FSS Participant, we hope that it is your resolution to complete a few goals on your ITSP, save money, and excel in a position that you love. If you’re not a current participant…shoot us an email to ask about the next orientation: [email protected].

The whole team wishes you a very Happy New Year! Here’s to 2026! 🎉
