State Self Sufficiency Program (SSP)
The State Self-Sufficiency Program is a new opportunity available to all tenants living in state-aided family public housing and participants of the Massachusetts Rental Voucher Program. This three-year program connects residents to economic development opportunities and supports families in reaching their goals.
When you enroll, you will work with your State Self-Sufficiency Program Coordinator (SSP) to set personal goals you’d like to achieve during the program. Every 90 days, you’ll meet with your coordinator to review your progress, stay accountable, and receive guidance and support.
One of the most exciting features of the program is the financial incentive: as your income increases, money is placed into a special escrow (savings) account. Over time, your savings will grow right alongside your earnings.
Your SSP Coordinator is here to help you:
- Access services and resources to overcome barriers to employment
- Strengthen your financial skills and build stability
- Work through challenges that may be holding you back from achieving your goals
The program is designed to help families move forward, build independence, and create new opportunities for the future.
Those interested in learning more or joining this program, should contact Bianca Levarity, our SSP Coordinator, to set up a meeting.
