ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: HUD announces the availability on its Web site of the 
applicant information, submission deadlines, funding criteria, and 
other requirements for HUD's FY2011 Public and Indian Housing Family 
Self-Sufficiency Program under the Resident Opportunity and Self-
Sufficiency (ROSS) Program NOFA. Specifically, this NOFA announces the 
availability of approximately $15 million made available under the 
Department of Defense and Full-Year Continuing Appropriations Act, 
2011, Public Law 112-10, approved April 15, 2011 for the Public and 
Indian Housing Family Self-Sufficiency Program under the Resident 
Opportunity and Self-Sufficiency (ROSS) Program.
    The purpose of the Public Housing FSS (PH FSS) program is to 
promote the development of local strategies to coordinate the use of 
assistance under the Public Housing program with public and private 
resources, enable participating families to increase earned income and 
financial literacy, reduce or eliminate the need for welfare 
assistance, and make progress toward achieving economic independence 
and housing self-sufficiency. The PH FSS program provides critical 
tools that can be used by communities to support welfare reform and 
help families develop new skills that will lead to economic self-
sufficiency.
