    Emergency Solutions Grant Applications

    [46 Pa.B. 2190]
    [Saturday, April 30, 2016]

     The Department of Community and Economic Development (Department), Center for Community Development Operations, is anticipating receiving funding through the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development for the Emergency Solutions Grant. The Homeless Emergency Assistance and Rapid Transition to Housing Act of 2009 provides funding for Emergency Solutions for the Commonwealth to address the needs of homeless people through services in Street Outreach, Emergency Shelters, Rapid Rehousing and Homelessness Prevention. The focus is to help individuals and families to quickly regain stability in permanent housing after experiencing a housing crisis or homelessness, or both.

     The Department will accept applications from any general purpose units of local government, including cities, boroughs, townships, towns, counties, home rule municipalities and communities that wish to apply ''on behalf of'' other municipalities. Priority will be given to nonentitled jurisdictions; however, the Department will consider funding applications received from all eligible government jurisdictions previously listed.

     A fully executed application with all applicable attachments must be submitted to the Department through the Electronic Single Application only and during the time the application is open. The application will open on May 1, 2016, and close at 5 p.m. on June 17, 2016. Applications received during this window of time will be considered for funding. Hard copies will not be accepted. The application is located on the Department's web site at http://www.newpa.com/single-application/.

     A copy of the guidelines and application may be obtained by download from the Department's web site at http://www.newpa.com/programs/emergency-solutions-grant-esg/.
