Opportunity Information: Apply for FR 6800 N 05
The ROSS (Resident Opportunity and Self-Sufficiency) Service Coordinator Program - FY2024 - NOFO is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) that focuses on helping residents in Public Housing and Indian Housing move toward long-term economic and housing stability. The program is built around the idea that many residents face practical barriers that make it hard to reach self-sufficiency, especially challenges tied to education, employment readiness, job access, health needs, and related supportive services. In this program, "self-sufficiency" is defined in a broad, real-world way: a household is considered more self-sufficient when it can maintain financial stability, stable housing, and personal or family stability over time. HUD frames progress as movement along a continuum, meaning residents may start at different points and advance step-by-step by meeting individual educational, professional, and health-related goals.
The core activity funded by ROSS-SC is hiring a Service Coordinator. This person is responsible for assessing resident needs and then connecting residents to existing local services and opportunities, such as workforce training, job placement and career development programs, adult education, credentialing or vocational pathways, childcare supports, health and wellness resources, and other community-based assistance that can remove obstacles to employment and stability. Rather than duplicating services, the Service Coordinator functions as the connector and navigator who helps residents access what already exists in the community, while also tracking needs and outcomes in a structured way.
ROSS-SC also includes a distinct emphasis on supporting elderly residents and residents with disabilities. For these households, the Service Coordinator links individuals to congregate services and other supportive services that help them age in place or remain in their homes safely and independently. At the same time, they are not excluded from broader self-sufficiency resources; they can also be connected to any desired training and supportive services that are available to other residents, depending on their goals and interests.
In addition to funding the Service Coordinator role, the grant can include funding for direct services that support the Service Coordinator's work and help achieve ROSS program goals. This is intended to strengthen the overall service model so residents have both guidance (through coordination and referrals) and practical supports that help them follow through on plans and overcome barriers.
Eligible applicants include several housing-related entities and community-based groups connected to the residents being served. Resident Associations (RAs) are eligible as long as they are either locally incorporated as a nonprofit (as recognized by the state) or have 501(c)(3) status from the IRS. Public housing authorities and Indian housing authorities are eligible, as are federally recognized Native American tribal governments, Indian Tribes as defined under NAHASDA, and Tribally-Designated Housing Entities (TDHEs) as defined under NAHASDA. Multifamily Owners are also eligible, and for those proposing to serve RAD PBRA residents, the applicant must be the entity that holds the legal right to lease units in the PBRA project(s) that will be served. The notice also makes clear who is not eligible: individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships cannot compete for or receive awards under this NOFO. For tribes, the number of Service Coordinator positions they may request is tied to the number of occupied units in the projects to be served that receive NAHASDA rental assistance as of the application deadline.
Key opportunity details include the funding opportunity number FR 6800 N 05 and CFDA number 14.870. The activity areas align with education, employment and training, health, and housing, reflecting the program's wraparound approach to stability and opportunity. HUD anticipates making around 130 awards under this NOFO, and the award ceiling is listed as $816,750. The opportunity was created on May 30, 2024, and the original application closing date is September 30, 2024.Apply for FR 6800 N 05
