Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS)

When you have a Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) through New Hampshire Housing, you may also participate in our Family Self-Sufficiency Program (FSS) if the head of household is able and willing to work, at least part time.

The FSS Program Offers

• Employment and financial coaching  
• An FSS escrow savings account that grows as your portion of the rent increases because your household income increases. Savings average around $4,500.
• A small loan and grant program to help overcome barriers to employment – up to $1,500 in grant funds and up to $4,000 as a low-interest loan.

For more information, call 1-800-439-7247, ext. 9404.

If interested, please fill out our Online FSS Application: Rent Savings Account.
