The State of California Department of Housing and Community
Development (HCD) has posted
newly proposed program guidelines for the federally funded
Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) program, which provides grant
funding to non-entitlement local governments and federally
recognized non-profit organizations. ESG funds are used to engage
with individuals and families experiencing homelessness, provide
rapid-rehousing, operate emergency shelters, and support
activities and services that prevent individuals and families
from becoming homeless.
The draft ESG Program guidelines are available for public review
and comment through August 15, 2024 at 11:49
p.m. All written comments received by HCD, within the
specified public comment period and pertaining to the proposed
program guidelines, will be considered. Comments can be submitted
to HCD during the public comment period via the following
methods:
Mail to: Dept. of Housing and Community Development

webinar to review and discuss the proposed changes outlined in
the draft ESG Guidelines.
