2021 Family Self-Sufficiency – Renewal NOFO

Additional information on eligibility (from the notice)

1. Eligible Applicants. PHAs (including MTW PHAs) currently administering an FSS program that have met all funding requirements outlined in prior year Notice of Awards and Grant Agreements and the Terms and Conditions therein, see Appendix C. Due to the level of funding under this NOFO, applicants will only be eligible for funding if they meet one of the following criteria: the applicant was funded under any of the FY 2018, FY 2019, and/or FY 2020 FSS NOFOs; or the applicant received an FSS program through a transfer or consolidation from a PHA that was funded under the FY 2018, FY 2019, or FY 2020 NOFO Please Note – PHAs that have repositioned all of their Public Housing stock in which FSS participants resided and do not serve HCV FSS participants are not eligible to apply for funding under this NOFO, as, when their current funding ends, they will no longer meet the definition of “currently administering an FSS program.” For example, your PHA has 60 PH units and no vouchers. You have 18 FSS participants. You reposition all the PH units were those 18 FSS participants live (for instance, you use RAD to convert all your family units to PBRA and all your FSS participants lived in family units.) Due to the RAD notice, you are able to continue using your FY20 FSS NOFO funding through 12/31/21. However, you no longer have a PH FSS program and you do not serve HCV FSS participants. After 12/31/21, your PHA will no longer administer an FSS program (even if you, as the PBRA owner, are serving those RAD-affected FSS participants). Thus, you are not eligible for funding under this FY21 NOFO. Please Note – If your PHA was affected by a Presidentially Declared Disaster (PDD), which prevented you from submitting your application by the September 7, 2021 deadline, then refer to Section I. Funding Opportunity Description, 2. Changes from Previous NOFO of the NOFO for guidance on the updated application date of September 21, 2021 for PDD affected PHAs. Individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorship organizations are not eligible to compete for, or receive, awards made under this announcement.
