How It Works

The program creates a unique savings account that helps build funds with every dollar of rent payment made by the participant.

As the participant’s earned income goes up, they will begin paying more toward the price of rent, but the amount they receive from subsidy does not decrease.

Instead, the extra payment provided by the FSS Program is placed into the savings account. 

The example below illustrates how this works:

At Contract Signing:

No/low employment income is recorded.

Participant has an Increase in Earned Income:

Participant Payment toward rent goes up, but FSS Subsidy and Rent remain the same. The Savings Account will begin receiving payments with the extra money provided by the FSS Subsity.
