Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS)
The Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS) Program is an initiative enacted in the National Affordable Housing Services Act of 1990. It is designed to assist you as a FSS participant in utilizing community services and resources in achieving economic independence. Certain services such as Education, Job Training, Employment and Housing are necessary in achieving that self-sufficiency. 

The Public Housing FSS Program is designed to work directly with residents to connect them with local education and training opportunities, job placement organizations, local employers and other public and private resources to enable participating families to increase earned income, reduce or eliminate the need for welfare assistance and make progress towards achieving economic independence and housing self sufficiency. 

Adult Program and Services
SRHA is committed to providing classes and workshops that increase the residents chance for economic independence. Adult GED employment and resume building workshops and apprenticeship classes are offered to help close the income gap. One-On-One interactive computer courses increase computer knowledge and skills. Health education and screenings provide blood pressure and blood sugar checks, cholesterol screenings, sex education and health assessments. Monthly health group seminars serve as a vehicle to health issues and concerns.

Youth Programs
