FSS program services may include, but are not limited to: child care, transportation, education, job training and employment counseling, substance/alcohol abuse treatment or counseling, household skill training, and homeownership counseling.

Families who enroll in the FSS program are required to sign a five-year contract that sets goals specific to each family. An interest-bearing FSS savings account is established by GHA for each participating family and any savings, based on increases in earned income of the family, are credited to this account by GHA during the term of the FSS contract. If the family completes the contract and no member of the family is receiving cash welfare assistance, the balance of the FSS account is paid to the head of the family.

To determine if you are eligible for the FSS program, you must currently be receiving assistance from the Georgetown Housing Authority. Please contact Kirby Maggard for more information.
