Family Self-Sufficiency & Welfare-to-Work  




 
 

What is Family Self-Sufficiency?

Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS) is a voluntary program that provides Housing Choice Voucher participants the opportunity to achieve economic independence over a five-year period. This is achieved through the close assistance of a case manager who supports, monitors and refers FSS families to public and private resources in the community.

What is the Welfare-to-Work Program?

Federal and state welfare reform efforts created a second program, the Welfare-to-Work (WTW) Program. This program has a 4-year contractual period for families with the desire to become welfare-free. The federal government issued 450 Housing Choice Vouchers to Prince William County to be used exclusively for families currently on public assistance.
