The Emergency Solutions Grants (ESG) program (CFDA 14.231) provides federal funding to address the critical needs of individuals and families experiencing homelessness or at imminent risk of homelessness. Authorized under the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act and substantially reformed by the HEARTH Act of 2009, ESG is a formula grant program that allocates funding directly to states, metropolitan cities, urban counties, and U.S. territories based on the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) formula. ESG funds five core component activities. Street Outreach provides essential services — including engagement, case management, emergency health and mental health services, and transportation — to unsheltered individuals living on the street or in places not meant for habitation. Emergency Shelter covers the operational costs of running shelters, including maintenance, rent, renovation, utilities, food, and essential services for shelter residents. Homelessness Prevention provides housing relocation and stabilization services plus short- and medium-term rental assistance to individuals and families at imminent risk of losing their housing. Rapid Re-Housing helps people who are currently experiencing homelessness move quickly into permanent housing through rental assistance and housing search services. Finally, the Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) component funds the data collection and management systems used to track individuals and services across the homelessness system. ESG recipient governments must match federal funds dollar-for-dollar, ensuring local commitment to addressing homelessness. Recipients typically subgrant the majority of ESG funding to local nonprofit service providers that operate shelters, outreach teams, and prevention programs. Subgrantees must coordinate with the local Continuum of Care and use the CoC's coordinated entry system to ensure that ESG-funded services are integrated into the broader homelessness response system. HUD requires ESG recipients to follow specific program standards for evaluating eligibility, determining the type and amount of assistance, and establishing performance benchmarks. The program has become a cornerstone of the federal strategy to prevent and end homelessness, particularly for its emphasis on rapid re-housing as a cost-effective alternative to extended shelter stays. Total annual ESG appropriations typically range from $250 million to $290 million, with supplemental appropriations during emergencies.

The Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267) is the largest federal program dedicated to ending homelessness in the United States, distributing approximately $3 billion annually to local communities. Administered by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), the CoC Program funds a wide range of housing and supportive service interventions for individuals and families experiencing homelessness, including those fleeing domestic violence. The CoC Program supports several project types: permanent supportive housing (PSH), which combines long-term housing with wraparound supportive services for chronically homeless individuals; rapid re-housing (RRH), which provides short-term rental assistance to quickly move people out of homelessness; transitional housing (TH) for populations that benefit from structured, time-limited residential programs; supportive services only (SSO) projects that connect people with housing search, case management, and employment services; and Homeless Management Information Systems (HMIS), the data infrastructure that tracks homelessness across communities. A Continuum of Care is a local or regional planning body that coordinates housing and service funding for homeless families and individuals. There are approximately 400 CoCs across the country, each responsible for developing a coordinated community plan to address homelessness. Each CoC designates a single Collaborative Applicant — typically a local government, planning commission, or nonprofit — to submit the consolidated application to HUD on behalf of all project applicants within the CoC geography. The annual CoC Program Competition is one of the most significant federal grant competitions. HUD scores applications based on system performance measures including the rate of exits to permanent housing, returns to homelessness, length of time homeless, and the community's progress toward reducing overall homelessness. Communities must demonstrate coordinated entry systems, strategic use of Housing First approaches, and efforts to reduce unsheltered homelessness. New project applications compete against renewal projects, and HUD uses a tiered funding structure that protects renewal funding while creating a competitive process for new and reallocated projects. The Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) is typically published in late spring with applications due in late summer or early fall.
