FSS
Partnerships is a national initiative designed to tap the resources of public
housing agencies (PHAs) to help build assets among low-income families.In particular, FSS Partnerships seeks to promote awareness of HUD's
Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS) program and to stimulate partnerships between housing agencies and other
agencies and organizations around FSS and Earned Income Tax Credit outreach.Such partnerships can provide asset-building opportunities for thousands
of low-income families who are not currently being served.
