Emergency Solutions Grant
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development implemented the Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) program in Fiscal Year 2011. Funds for the ESG program, in addition to being available for homelessness prevention and rapid rehousing, can be used for emergency shelter and supportive services. The Emergency Solutions Grant provides funding for street outreach, emergency shelters (essential services, operations, and renovation), rapid re-housing (including rent and utility assistance and case management), and homelessness prevention to keep households from entering the homeless system. These programs provide basic needs of shelter, food, clothing, and other necessities; and provide case management, referrals, rental assistance, and other services to individuals and families who are in need of assistance.
