Emergency Shelter Grant Program

The Emergency Shelter Grant (ESG) Program is a federal initiative that provides funding to local agencies to support homeless individuals and families. It helps improve and operate emergency shelters, transitional housing, and other services that prevent homelessness. The program aims to assist vulnerable populations by ensuring they have access to safe, stable housing and related support. ESG funding can be used for shelter renovations, service provision, and rapid re-housing efforts. Overall, it plays a critical role in reducing homelessness and promoting housing stability through targeted, community-based assistance.
