Northeast Florida Community Action Agency

Family Self-Sufficiency Program (FSSP)

We believe self-sufficiency begins with empowerment and education. By offering people the training they need to succeed in the workplace, we give them a chance to succeed in life. By introducing the fundamentals of financial management and opportunities to continue their education through our Family Self-Sufficiency Program (FSSP), we help families overcome poverty and maintain gainful employment.

FSSP gives people the necessary skills they need to succeed. From GED training to assistance in finding a job, we are here to help throughout every stage of the process.  Through FSSP we provide:
