Family Self-Sufficiency Program

Family Self-Sufficiency Program

Low-income individuals usually lack the education and/or skills needed to obtain and maintain employment.  Many times, these individuals do not receive jobs because they cannot pass the pre-employment test, do not meet educational eligibility criteria, and lack employment competency skills.  The FSSP provides a comprehensive and holistic approach to services for entire families by empowering individuals to actively pursue a better life and obtain employment that pays a living wage.

The FSSP encompasses the development of a specified case plan, tailored to each customer and designed to address barriers to self-sufficiency such as employment and education. In addition, this program teaches customers to generate more income as well as enable them to make better use of available income and other financial resources.  The FSSP also helps customers prepare for the General Education Development (GED) exam, assists with enrollment and financial aid for vocational training or post-secondary education courses, provides assistance with transportation costs and secures child care for customers in order for them to complete job training.    As the “War on Poverty” continues, NFCAA is committed to its mission by helping families produce outcomes and become self-sufficient, ending their dependence on outside assistance.

Individuals interested in the FSSP should contact their local NFCAA office to receive dates on upcoming orientation sessions and eligibility criteria.
