What if achieving your dreams came with a savings account and a personal coach? That’s exactly what the Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS) Program offers residents at Rockford Housing Authority. Backed by HUD, this powerful initiative supports residents on a journey toward financial independence—with real money, real goals, and real success.
Your Dreams, Supercharged
The FSS Program isn’t just about getting by—it’s about getting ahead. Whether you dream of launching a career, owning your first home, or repairing your credit, this program connects you with a case manager who helps you map out each step. Over five years, you’ll receive personalized support, accountability check-ins, and encouragement to grow your income and independence.
Get Paid to Level Up
Here’s the exciting part: as you earn more, the program sets aside money in an escrow account just for you. That means if your rent goes up due to a higher income, FSS matches that increase and saves it for you. At graduation, that nest egg could help you buy a home, invest in education, or start a business. It’s your reward for your hard work.
Support Tailored to You
FSS isn’t a one-size-fits-all program. It’s personalized. From job training to childcare resources, your case manager—like the passionate Mr. Elias Soria or the ever-encouraging Ms. Laura Martinez—helps connect you to the services you need. Together, you’ll create a roadmap to self-sufficiency and celebrate every victory along the way.
The FSS Program is your chance to rewrite your story with the support of people who believe in you. Ready to enroll? Reach out to Mr. Soria or Ms. Martinez at Rockford Housing Authority today. Your goals, your growth, and your future are waiting. Stay tuned for Part 2, featuring real resident success stories that will inspire your next step.
