R.O.S.S. Service Coordinator Program
Resident Opportunity and Self-Sufficiency
What is the R.O.S.S. Service Coordinator Program?
The Resident Opportunities for Self Sufficiency Program (ROSS) is a program designed to assist families living in public housing set and achieve goals that will promote earned income, reduce and/or eliminate the need for welfare assistance and ultimately make progress towards achieving economic independence and housing self-sufficiency.
The ROSS Program hires a Service Coordinator who essentially serves as a link between residents and community programs and services that are available to serve them.
In addition to addressing a resident's current needs, the Service Coordinator will also provide assistance to help residents plan for their future. They will also assist the resident to create goals, identify any barriers to success, and then link them to programs and services available to overcome any barriers. Through this process, the resident becomes equipped and empowered to accomplish goals towards achieving economic independence and self-sufficiency.
