HCD administers the ESG program with funding received from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). HCD distributes federal Emergency Solutions Grants funds to eligible subrecipients. Eligible Applicants and Areas to be Served HCD subgrants its funding to subrecipients in Continuum of Care (CoC) service areas that have at least one jurisdiction that does not receive ESG funds directly from HUD (“Nonentitlement”).
State ESG funded activities may serve the entire service area of the CoC but must serve Nonentitlement areas within the service area. For a list of CoC Service Areas eligible to participate in the program, refer to Appendix A of the current NOFA. ESG funds may be used for four primary activities: Street Outreach, Rapid Re-Housing Assistance, Emergency Shelter, and Homelessness Prevention.
In addition, ESG funds may be used for associated Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) costs and administrative activities for some subrecipients. Refer to the current Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) for any limitations on these activities. HCD allocates its funding to the State's Continuum of Care (CoC) service areas using a single, direct-allocation method.
This method of distribution is detailed in the ESG Program Final Guidelines dated December 10, 2024 and in the ESG NOFA.
ESG CARES Act (ESG-CV) Allocation Before the ESG-CV program ended on June 30, 2024, ESG-CV funds were distributed to CoC Service Areas to either currently approved units of general-purpose local government, known as Administrative Entities (AEs), or directly to the CoC, assuming the CoC was a state and federally recognized non-profit organization and had capacity to administer the funding.
If the CoC did not meet these requirements, the CoC had to designate an AE to administer the funding for that CoC Service area.

On September 16, 2026, the First Circuit granted HUD an emergency stay of the order that had erased the FY2026 Continuum of Care competition. HUD reopened e-snaps on September 18 with a September 30, 8:00 PM ET deadline, one technical correction shortening applicant notification from 15 days to 7, and a waiver letting private nonprofits administer rental assistance. Here is what the stay does and does not decide, why your award may still be provisional, and the exact sequence to run in the days you have left.
Read articleFive weeks after a federal judge vacated the FY2026 Continuum of Care NOFO in its entirety, HUD published a Notice of Research Justifying Additional Incentives for Certain Activities To Reduce Homelessness. It is not a NOFO and not a proposed rule — it is the administrative record HUD needs to reissue the same policy and survive the next lawsuit. Here is what the four named activities tell you about the revised competition, why the October 13 comment deadline is now the real leverage point, and what CoC leads should be building right now.
Read articleThe September 1, 2026 revision to the Moving to Work Expansion Operations Notice (FR-5994-N-07) took effect on publication. It removes the 10 percent HAP-budget ceiling on Local Non-Traditional Activities, raises work-requirement and imputed-income safe harbors to 40 hours a week, cuts the minimum term-limited assistance period to two years, and strikes disparate impact from the impact-analysis requirement. Congress, meanwhile, just banned the next MTW cohort from doing most of it.
