Family Stability Program/Grand Junction Housing Authority

Family Stability Program (FSP) provides 130 vouchers for housing assistance and case management. When all 130 vouchers are issued clients must go on a waiting list for future assistance. FSP helps low income families stay unified, and prevents placement of children in foster care due to inadequate or unsafe housing.

Referrals must be made by Child Welfare and Colorado Works Program or Temporary Aid to Needy Families (TANF) case managers by completing referral and application forms.
