Emergency Solutions Grant, Housing Assistance Program,
& Homelessness Prevention Program
The City of Milwaukee – Community Development Grants Administration (CDGA) is accepting applications for the provision of the Emergency Solutions Grant, Housing Assistance Program & Homelessness Prevention Program (EHH) application for homeless services. The Emergency Shelter Grant was created in 1991 under the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act. The Homeless Emergency Assistance and Rapid Transition to Housing Act of 2009 (HEARTH Act) amended the McKinney Vento Act, revising the Emergency Shelter Grant Program in significant ways and renaming it the Emergency Solutions Grant Program (ESG). This grant is funded by the U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development. ESG can be used for rapid re-housing, homelessness prevention, emergency shelter, street outreach and Homeless Management Information Systems (HMIS).
Eligible applicants must be located in the City of Milwaukee and be incorporated as a 501(c)(3) non-profit agency at the time of application.
