On October 31, 2018, HUD released the Fiscal Year (FY) 2018 Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS) Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA). Congress appropriated $75 million for the FY 2018 FSS program. This NOFA is specifically provides renewal funding for FSS programs that were funding under FY 2015, FY 2016, and/or FY 2017 FSS grants. The application deadline is November 30, 2018.

The FSS provisions (Section 306) of  The Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief, and Consumer Protection Act (S. 2155 that became Public Law No: 115-174) are not in effect for this NOFA as HUD must issue the implementing regulations within 365 of the bill passage (May 24, 2018) and the implementing regulations have not, at the time of this blog post, been issued.

The FY 2018 NOFA application can be found on Grants.gov and additional information on this NOFA can be found on the HUD website.
