Formula Grant E25MC080002

The City of Aurora received $234,781.00 in Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) Program funding (CFDA 14.231) from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development, with an award date of August 13, 2026, and a completion deadline of March 12, 2028. As a formula grant allocation, these funds support the city's efforts to address homelessness and housing instability through five core program components: street outreach services to engage unsheltered individuals and families, emergency shelter rehabilitation and operations, homelessness prevention assistance, rapid re-housing services with rental and housing stabilization support, and Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) activities for data coordination and tracking.

The funding enables Aurora to provide essential services that help individuals and families experiencing homelessness or housing crises quickly regain permanent housing stability. The grant supports operational expenses for emergency shelters serving the local homeless population, provides case management and supportive services to shelter residents, and delivers prevention and rapid re-housing assistance to help vulnerable residents avoid homelessness or transition out of temporary shelter settings into permanent housing solutions. Additionally, administrative activities necessary for effective program implementation are eligible uses of the ESG funds.
