Does the escrow start as soon as I sign the Family Self-Sufficiency contract?
No, the escrow never starts when you sign the contract or when the contract becomes effective. The FSS Escrow doesn't begin to have deposits until:
- FSS Contract becomes effective (FSS Contract states current Annual Income, Earned Income, Family Rent)
- A rent calculation is completed by PHA after the FSS contract effective date and Family Rent has increased above what is stated on FSS Contract or wages (earned income) has increased above what is stated on FSS Contract.
