"Through trusted, community-based organizations, this program assists families facing homelessness through outreach, local emergency shelters, and rehousing assistance."
A total of $1,460,280 in ESG-CV funding was approved for 10 organizations in five counties.

The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act provided for two allocations of homeless assistance funds to prevent, prepare for, and respond to COVID-19, among individuals and families who are homeless or receiving homeless assistance and to support additional homeless assistance and homelessness prevention activities to mitigate the impacts created by the pandemic.
The first round of funding was announced in July 2020. Since then DCED has awarded additional rounds of funding under ESG-CV including a special allocation during the winter months of 2020-2021 to address winter emergency shelter needs resulting from the pandemic.
