What is the purpose of the ESG program?
The Emergency Shelter Grant (ESG) Program provides funds once a year to local agencies to administer emergency shelter to homeless individuals and families within the Urban County. Emergency Shelter Grant (ESG) funds may be used for: renovation, major rehabilitation, or conversion of buildings for use as emergency shelter for the homeless; essential services to the homeless; payment of maintenance, operation, insurance, utilities, and furnishings; and developing and implementing homeless prevention activities.
