Would you like to increase your income or improve your education? FSS can help. Through case management and advocacy we will support you in setting a five-year plan to meet your employment or education goals.
FSS is designed to assist motivated families or individuals who receive Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher subsidies or live in Marin Housing's Golden Gate Village Public Housing, to become independent of welfare/cash assistance by increasing their earned income. A self-directed program, participants formulate a series of goals that will enable them to become financially self-sufficient within a period of five years. The FSS Case Managers meet with each participant to develop Action Steps that guide them to achieving their goals. Program staff work with local community agencies, schools, and government programs to ensure that participants obtain the resources they need to accomplish their goals.
Resources & referrals a participant might receive would be:
- Budgeting and Credit Repair
- Job Search Methods & Job Training
- Financial Aid for education
- Parenting skills
- Homeownership Education
- Asset Building - IDA accounts
