The below message is a re-posting from HUD’s Office of Multifamily Housing:

Dear Colleagues:

Please join the Multifamily Housing staff and HUD’s Technical Assistance Providers on Wednesday, September 10, 2019 from 3:30 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. for a brief interactive webinar to provide you valuable information on our plans to promote the Multifamily Housing Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS) Program.

Beginning the week of September 9th, the Office of Multifamily Housing will launch an FSS outreach campaign to strongly encourage assisted housing owners and management agents to offer FSS Programs at their family properties. As part of the campaign, we will offer hands-on technical assistance (TA) over a nine-month period to support owners and agents who express an interest in starting a program and receiving the TA. We intend to publish a Request for Interest (RFI) on September 17th that contains a brief application for owners and management agents to complete. The application submission due date will be October 8, 2019.

We request your support for these efforts, and hope you will join us in promoting the FSS Program to your members.  As always, your input and ideas are welcome to make this outreach effort a complete success.  A newsletter article is attached for your use to widely communicate and seek support for the FSS Program. 

Deputy Assistant Secretary Lamar Seats speaks in a short video about the FSS Program.  It will be posted very soon on our Multifamily Housing FSS HUD Exchange page, along with the RFI and many other helpful resources.
