Will I lose my housing assistance if I do graduate from FSS?

No. The goal of the FSS program is to help you reach self-sufficiency and to be successful through employment and other financial choices; however, graduation requires only that you complete your own goals and be suitably employed. If you are far enough along the path to self-sufficiency by the time you graduate from FSS, you may be earning enough money that you will no longer be eligible for Section 8; that’s a great thing for you! If you graduate from FSS but still meet the income guidelines, you will continue to receive your housing assistance.
