The Family Self-Sufficiency Program (FSS) is a program designed to assist low-income families and individuals in breaking their dependency on public assistance programs. It helps them to achieveeconomic self-sufficiency by collaborating withschools, businesses, welfare agencies, and other local partners to develop a personalized savings and development plan for each family. As part of participation in the program, an escrow savings account is set up for each family; at the successful completion of the program, the savings account is theirs!
