24 C.F.R. § 887.113
§ 887.113 FSS funds. (24 CFR Part 887)
Operative Text
Owners may access funding from any residual receipt accounts for the property to cover reasonable costs associated with operation of an FSS program, including hiring an FSS Program Coordinator or coordinators for their FSS program.
Under 24 CFR Part 887 § 887.113, property owners are permitted to draw on residual receipt account funds held for their property to pay for reasonable costs tied to running a Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS) program. This includes the expense of employing one or more FSS Program Coordinators. The rule establishes an allowable funding source for FSS program operations rather than mandating that owners establish or fund such a program.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 887.113, owners who operate an FSS program have the option to tap residual receipt accounts associated with their property to offset reasonable FSS operating costs, including coordinator salaries. Compliant operators generally document that expenditures drawn from these accounts are directly tied to FSS program operations and fall within the bounds of what regulators consider reasonable. Maintaining clear records of how residual receipt funds are allocated toward FSS activities supports accountability and audit readiness.

Section § 887.113 establishes that funding for FSS program operations—including the coordinators who support residents' participation—can come from the property's residual receipt accounts. If you are enrolled or interested in enrolling in an FSS program at your property, understanding that this funding mechanism exists may help you ask informed questions about program availability and staffing. Tenant-rights organizations or your local HUD field office can be useful resources if you have concerns about whether FSS program resources are being properly maintained at your property.
