Tikisha is currently working toward completing the Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS) program. The FSS program aids residents with resources and educational materials that are required to become self-sufficient. For many residents, FSS has been a key contributor to reaching their goals and making it out of public housing.

More about the FSS Program: Family Self-Sufficiency Specialists assist each participant in developing a Service Plan that outlines their goals for the next five years. Emphasis is on full-time employment, credit readiness, and independence from public assistance. While participants work toward their goals; if their rent increases due to earned income the additional rent paid is set aside in an escrow account. This account may be accessed upon completion of their individual FSS Plan to pursue a business venture, education, or homeownership. To learn more about the program go here.
