Family Self Sufficiency

 You may want to think of the FSS (Family Self-Sufficiency) program as a bridge that will help your family overcome the obstacles you encounter in your journey towards self-sufficiency.

First, your family will develop a blueprint for its bridge with the help of the FSS Specialist. This blueprint is called an Individual Training and Service Plan (ITPS). The ITPS outlines the steps your family will take to achieve the earning power needed to be self-supporting.

Other agencies who work with the FSS families, such as schools, social service agencies, and job training programs, act as the supports that will make your bridge strong enough to stand against the challenges you will face. The FSS Specialist solidly bolts your supports together by helping you find and connect all the many parts of your family’s bridge to self-sufficiency.

The final and most important part of the Family Self-Sufficiency program is YOU! You and your family must have the desire and determination to attack obstacles in your path and cross your bridge to the brighter future that is waiting on the road to self-sufficiency.
