Peekskill to seek contractor for HUD-funded Family Self-Sufficiency coordinator (56,280 grant)
Summary
Jessica Ganes briefed the council on a HUD-funded Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS) grant of $56,280 to hire a contracted FSS coordinator. The coordinator would be a contracted position paid from the grant for one year, required to work 40 hours per week; city attorney will review contracting language to confirm independent-contractor status.
The city plans to use a HUD FSS grant to contract a coordinator to run a Family Self-Sufficiency program meant to help Section 8 participants meet employment and education goals. "The grant is for 56,280," Jessica Ganes (speaker 9) told the council, adding that the grant is intended to pay a single coordinator for the year and that the position would be a contracted role rather than a city employee.
Council members asked how the city will evaluate cost and hours; staff said the contract will be a flat annual bid (not hourly), the coordinator will report to Jessica, and the role is expected to involve outreach, case management and networking with outside agencies. City Attorney Eric (speaker 13) will review the draft contract language to reduce vulnerability around misclassification and ensure employment-law compliance before procurement.
