Employment & Economic Self-Sufficiency
Embedded within HACM’s mission is the desire to support residents in their efforts to achieve self-sufficiency. We link residents to programs that can increase their educational levels, boost their job skills and marketability, and assist them in developing a better sense of how to spend and save money.
Resident Employment Case Management
HACM employs case managers to assist residents in identifying their skill sets, developing and implementing plans for educational improvement, and obtaining employment.
Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS) Program
FSS is a HUD program that allows Housing Choice Voucher participants and public housing residents to build financial assets as the household increases income from wages. Participation generally lasts five years, during which participants identify educational, professional and personal goals.
Section 3 Job and Contracting Opportunities
HACM's Section 3 Program helps link public housing residents, Housing Choice Voucher (Section 8 Rent Assistance) participants, and other low-income individuals in the Milwaukee area to employment and training opportunities on projects funded by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
