Formula Grant E25MC120019

The City of Tallahassee received a Formula Grant award of $164,348.00 from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development, under the Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) Program (CFDA 14.231). The award, effective January 16, 2026 through January 15, 2028, funds five core program components designed to address homelessness and housing instability: street outreach services, emergency shelter operations and rehabilitation, essential services for shelter residents, homelessness prevention assistance, and Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) activities. These services enable the city to engage individuals and families experiencing homelessness, improve emergency shelter capacity and quality, and provide rapid re-housing and prevention assistance to help beneficiaries quickly regain permanent housing stability.

The ESG funding supports eligible activities across these five components as defined in federal regulations, including building rehabilitation or conversion for emergency shelter use, operational expenses for shelters, essential supportive services, rental assistance and housing relocation services, and data management systems. The City of Tallahassee, as the ESG grant recipient, is responsible for administering these funds and maintaining comprehensive records for the grant period. This formula-based allocation represents part of the city's broader federal grant portfolio supporting community development and housing initiatives in Tallahassee.
