On Step 2 under "My question is related to," select ESG: Emergency Solutions Grants. The HUD Exchange Homelessness Assistance Programs page provides information on assisting people who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless. It contains program guidance and homelessness resources for Federal Agencies, government agencies, Continuum of Care (CoC) organizations, homeless service providers, TA providers, persons experiencing homelessness, and other stakeholders.
