Overview
The Cook County Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) aims to enhance homeless assistance through funding ranging from $25,000 to $125,000. This grant supports a variety of activities, including homeless prevention, rapid re-housing, emergency shelter services, and street outreach. It emphasizes collaboration between recipients and the Continuum of Care to improve service delivery and performance outcomes, ensuring effective use of resources to combat homelessness in the community.
The Emergency Shelter Grant (ESG) has now been amended by the "Homeless Emergency Assistance and Rapid Transition to Housing" (HEARTH) Act of 2009 to become the Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG). The HEARTH Act amends and reauthorized the McKinney-Vento Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) use, increased emphasis on performance, and a requirement for greater coordination and collaboration between the recipient and Continuum of Care.
