FAMILY SELF-SUFFICIENCY PROGRAM (FSS)
The Troy Housing Authority’s Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS) Program is helping residents turn goals into achievements by providing personalized coaching, career resources, and a unique opportunity to build savings while working toward financial independence.
The voluntary program is available to both THA residents and Housing Choice Voucher (Section 8) participants. Working one-on-one with an FSS Coordinator, participants create a personalized five-year plan focused on goals that matter most to them—from finding a better job and increasing income, to improving credit, saving money, or preparing for homeownership.
