Emergency Solutions Grants (ESG) - Idaho Housing and Finance Association Emergency Solutions Grants (ESG) Emergency Solutions Grants (ESG) Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) Youth Homelessness Demonstration Program (YHDP) The Emergency Shelter Grants program was established by the Homeless Housing Act of 1986 in response to the growing issue of homelessness in the United States.
In 1987, the program was incorporated into Title IV of the Stewart B. McKinney Homeless Assistance Act (42 U.S.C. Sec.
11371¬11378), now known as the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) awards these funds to the State of Idaho. The Governor of Idaho has designated Idaho Housing and Finance Association to administer ESG funds on behalf of the State.
The Emergency Solutions Grants (ESG) program was created to replace the Emergency Shelter Grants program when the Homeless Emergency Assistance and Rapid Transition to Housing (HEARTH) Act was signed into law on May 20, 2009. The HEARTH Act amended and reauthorized the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act and included major revisions to the Emergency Shelter Grant Program.
The ESG Program is designed to support sheltered and unsheltered homeless persons, as well as those at risk of homelessness, by providing the services necessary to help those persons to regain stability quickly in permanent housing after experiencing a housing crisis and/or homelessness.
The change in program name reflects the change in focus from addressing the needs of the homeless in emergency or transitional shelters to assisting people to regain stability in permanent housing. 2025 ESG Program Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) ESG funds are awarded on a competitive basis through an application and award process.
