Family Self Sufficiency Successes
FSS participants completing their goals have received escrow checks in amounts up to $15,000. The money they received from their escrow accounts have been used to pay down debts, closing cost on a home, down payment on a car, and much more. We have had many success stories, and you could be one of them. Inquire about the FSS program with your housing counselor.
