CSS Plan. The Grantee must develop and submit to HUD for approval a CSS Plan (see Article II). The Grantee must provide current public housing residents, relocated public housing residents, and returning and new public housing residents with community and supportive services for the term of the Grant Agreement. CSS programs and services must be carefully planned so that they will be sustainable after the HOPE VI grant period ends. The Grantee is responsible for tracking and providing CSS programs and services to residents currently living on the targeted public housing site (as of the grant award date) and residents already relocated from the site. It is imperative that case management services begin immediately so that residents who will be relocated have time to participate in and benefit from CSS activities before leaving the site; and that residents who have already been relocated are able to participate in and benefit from CSS activities. CSS activities must be well integrated with the physical development process, both in terms of timing and the provision of facilities to house on-site service and educational activities. The CSS Plan must also include the Early Childhood Education component.
