The FFS program is a voluntary program for people who are receiving housing assistance through the Section 8 Housing Voucher Program.  Participants work with case managers to achieve economic self-sufficiency, employment skills and money management techniques.  With the FFS program, Kentucky Housing Corporation (KHC) opens – and contributes to – a savings account in the partner’s name.  As the participant’s earned income increases, their rent share goes up accordingly and KHC’s share decreases.  Some or all of KHC’s payment goes into a savings account, which graduates can spend as they wish.  Many FSS participants finish the program with enough money for a down payment on a new home.
