Formula Grant E25MC120013

The City of Miami received a $447,390 Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) formula grant award from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development (CFDA 14.231) on September 23, 2025, with a completion date of September 22, 2027. The ESG program provides formula-based funding to eligible state and local government entities to address homelessness and housing instability through five core service components: street outreach services to engage unsheltered individuals and families; emergency shelter rehabilitation, conversion, and operations; homelessness prevention assistance; rapid re-housing services with rental assistance and housing stabilization support; and Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) activities for data collection and coordination. The City of Miami will utilize these funds to support its comprehensive approach to addressing homelessness and housing crises within its jurisdiction.

As a recipient with significant federal grant management capacity, the City of Miami has demonstrated expertise in sub-awarding portions of ESG and related housing grants to local non-profit organizations and partner agencies. Under this award, the City will implement activities that engage homeless populations living on streets, improve the capacity and quality of emergency shelter facilities, provide essential services to shelter residents, and facilitate rapid transitions to permanent housing for individuals and families experiencing housing crises. All ESG funds must be administered in compliance with 24 Code of Federal Regulations Part 576, with comprehensive records maintained for a minimum of five years.
