On November 19, 2025, NAHRO was informed by HUD that the application deadlines for the Resident Opportunity and Self Sufficiency Service Coordinator (ROSS-SC) and the Family Self Sufficiency (FSS) programs have been extended. This comes after the announcement of the Jobs Plus program application deadline being extended to December 29, 2025.

ROSS-SC Extended Deadline is Jan. 12, 2026

In an email to NAHRO, HUD confirmed that the deadline for the ROSS-SC Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) has been extended. The program assists eligible applicants to hire service coordinators who provide supportive services to participants of the ROSS program. Up to $40 millionin grant funds will be made available to an estimated 114 grantees. The minimum amount of funding available is $272,255 and the maximum is $816,750.

Applicants can apply here.

For more information about the NOFO, HUD will be having a webinar on December 4, 2025. Those interested can register here.

FSS Applications Due No Later than Dec. 31, 2025

In a webinar conducted by HUD, HUD announced that applications that have yet to be received for the FSS program will be accepted until December 31. They expressed that applicants should submit as soon as possible, so funds are not delayed. 

Applicants that already submitted for renewals and need no corrections to be made to their application can expect award announcements by the end of the year. Those that are still submitting applications, if approved for renewal, can expect to receive an award notice by sometime in January.

Authorized Organizational Representatives (AORs) should have already received a link from GrantSolutions to apply. Applicants will not receive an email confirming that their application has been received, however applicants can check their application status in GrantSolutions.

 If there are any issues accessing the application please contact HUD at FSS@hud.gov.
