Public housing is a form of affordable housing that was established to provide decent and safe rental housing for eligible low-income families, the elderly, and persons with disabilities. HACSJ owns and manages over 1,000 public housing units at four locations throughout San Joaquin County. Rents for the public housing communities are income based. Similar to the Housing Choice Voucher program, tenant rent is generally 30% of the adjusted gross income. Residents of our public housing communities are selected from HACSJ’s waitlist.

The Resident Services Department provides service coordination and Section 3 opportunities for our Public Housing Residents and HCV Participants.
HACSJ continuously researches programs, services and events for the benefit of our residents and tenants. Some of our services have included educational resources such as GED preparation, financial literacy, homebuyer education, and job fairs. It is our goal to provide a full range of services that improves the quality of life and promotes self-sufficiency.
The Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS) program is a voluntary employment and savings incentive program designed to assist families in becoming economically independent and self-sufficient while reducing and/or eliminating the need for government cash assistance.
The Resident Opportunities Self Sufficiency (ROSS) program is designated for public housing residents to enable increased earned income, reduce and/or eliminate the need for welfare assistance, and make progress toward achieving economic independence and self-sufficiency.
Some of the benefits for these two self-sufficiency programs include: obtaining the education or training needed to earn a living wage, case management and support services, preparation for homeownership, and receiving an escrow check upon successful completion to help achieve life changing goals.

Section 3 Opportunities
HACSJ is committed to offering job opportunities for public housing residents or others who meet the income limits defined in Section 3 of the U.S. Housing and Urban Development Act of 1968. The Section 3 program helps low-income residents gain the skills and jobs needed to become self-sufficient.

Community Service
Federal law requires all public housing residents who are not exempt to perform Community Service or Economic Self-Sufficiency activities for eight hours each month as a condition of tenancy. Each public housing management office provides information and forms needed to understand and document this requirement. The office also has forms to file for exemptions. At an annual review, HACSJ staff will verify each family member’s compliance with the Community Service requirement. HACSJ continues to engage with residents and resident leaders to assist residents in performing the required services.
