Type of Request: New collection. Form Number: None. Description of the need for the information and proposed use: Multifamily Family Self-Sufficiency (MF FSS) is a HUD program that enables families living multifamily assisted housing to increase their earned income and reduce their dependence on public assistance programs. MF FSS promotes the development of local strategies to coordinate the use of HUD rental assistance programs with public and private resources, to enable eligible families to achieve economic independence and self-sufficiency. HUD’s Appropriations Act of 2015 allows owners of privately owned multifamily properties with a Section 8 contract to voluntarily make a Family Self-Sufficiency program available to assisted tenants in accordance with procedures established by the Secretary, including those procedures permitting tenants to accrue escrow funds in accordance with section 23(d)(2) of the U.S. Housing Act of 1937. Owners of privately-owned HUD assisted multifamily housing can voluntarily establish and operate a MF FSS program at their housing sites.

Such services might include child care, transportation, education, job training, employment counseling, financial literacy, and homeownership counseling. Families entering the FSS program work with a case manager to develop goals that will lead to selfsufficiency within a 5-year period. These goals may include education, specialized training, and job readiness, placement, and career advancement activities. Families sign a five year contract of participation (CoP) with the owner. Goals for each participating family member are set out in Individual Training and Services plans (ITSP) that are part of the CoP. When the family meets its goals and completes its FSS contract, the family becomes eligible to receive funds deposited in an escrow account. The owner establishes an interest-bearing escrow account for each participating family. If a family’s earned income and rental payments increase as a result of participation in the FSS, the owner will credit the incremental earned income amount to the family’s escrow account. Once a family successfully graduates from the program, they may access the escrow funds and use them for any purpose.
