Service coordinators play a crucial role in connecting residents with a variety of services, some of which may not be readily available in their local communities. Many of these supportive services are funded directly or indirectly by federal programs and agencies. However, the fragmentation of these programs can make it challenging for residents to access the services they need. Additionally, many residents in affordable housing communities are unaware of the available federal programs.

This module provides a comprehensive overview of federal programs relevant to service coordinators and residents. It covers the types of federally assisted housing, social and supportive services, and various service coordination programs. Participants will gain insights into how these programs are administered at different levels and learn strategies to effectively navigate and utilize them.
