Kentucky Housing Corporation's (KHC) Family Self-Sufficiency Program (FSS) is a voluntary program for people who are receiving housing assistance through the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program administered by KHC.  Participants work with case managers who teach employment skills, money management tips and homeownership education.

The program offers participants the opportunity to learn new skills, achieve economic self-sufficiency, and even provides a means to save for a home of their own. With the FSS Program, KHC opens - and contributes to - a savings account in the participant’s name.  As the participant’s earned income increases, their rent share goes up accordingly and KHC’s share decreases.  Some or all of KHC’s payment portion goes into the savings account, which graduates can spend as they wish.  Many FSS participants finish the program with enough money for a down payment on a new home.

If you have further questions regarding the FSS program and you are unable to locate the answer on the Info Center, please submit your question online by selecting the "Ask a Question" option which is located at the top of each screen.  Or, you may contact a Specialized Housing Resources administrator toll free at 800-633-8896 or locally at 502-564-7630.
