Federal Grant Award Summary

The City of Mobile received a Formula Grant award of $204,182.00 from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development under the Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) Program (CFDA 14.231) on February 26, 2026, with a completion date of February 25, 2028. This award supports the delivery of five key program components designed to address homelessness and housing instability: street outreach services to engage unsheltered individuals and families; emergency shelter operations and facility improvements; essential services provided to shelter residents; homelessness prevention assistance to help at-risk populations avoid housing loss; and rapid re-housing assistance to help homeless individuals and families quickly transition to permanent housing. The award also covers eligible Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) activities and administrative functions related to program implementation.

Under this award, the City of Mobile will utilize ESG funds to rehabilitate or convert facilities for emergency shelter use, support the operational expenses of emergency shelter programs, provide critical support services to homeless populations, and deliver prevention and housing stabilization services. These activities align with the ESG program's broader objective of helping individuals and families experiencing homelessness or housing crises quickly regain permanent housing stability while improving the community's overall emergency shelter infrastructure and support systems.
