3-I.D. SUPPORTIVE SERVICES FEES AND COSTS As with administrative fees and costs, funding for supportive services fees and costs are now combined under one funding stream. Supportive services fees and costs include childcare expenses, transportation funds, and the costs of training, work equipment, or GED classes, among others. As with administrative fees and costs, funding will be awarded through a Grant Agreement and disbursed through HUD's Line of Credit Control System (LOCCS), similar to previous PH FSS awards; instead of an amendment to the PHA's Annual Contributions Contract (ACC), which was previously used for HCV awards. Remember, however, that funds awarded in prior years are still restricted to the applicable program. Information for funds under previous years' awards follows. Public Housing Supportive Services In public housing, the PHA may fund reasonable and eligible FSS supportive service costs in the FSS program from either the Operating Fund or the Capital Fund. However, in the Operating Fund, the costs of FSS supportive services are only reimbursed through the operating subsidy when appropriations allow it. In addition to the Operating Fund and Capital Fund, public housing supportive services can also be funded through HUD grants, other than FSS coordinator grants, when available. Housing Choice Voucher Supportive Services In the housing choice voucher program, the PHA may fund reasonable and eligible FSS supportive service costs in the FSS program from unrestricted net assets [see Notice PIH 93-24, E-3] In addition, the PHA may seek additional funds from HUD through submitting grant applications, or seek grants from other sources when available. 3 -LE. ON-SITE FACILITIES Each PHA may, subject to the approval of HUD, make available and utilize common areas or unoccupied dwelling units in public housing projects to provide supportive services under an FSS program. This includes using such areas for participants in a housing choice voucher FSS program. PHA Policy The PHA does not operate a public housing program and does not have unoccupied dwelling units in public housing projects to provide supportive services. © Copyright 2014 by Nan McKay & Associates Unlimited copies may be made for internal use.
