The funding enables the City of Tampa to deliver rapid re-housing assistance and related housing stabilization services to help homeless individuals and families quickly regain permanent housing stability, as well as administrative support for these initiatives. ESG funds may be allocated across these components according to the city's Consolidated Plan submission, with permitted uses including building rehabilitation for shelter purposes, operational expenses, essential supportive services, rental assistance, and housing relocation services. All activities are subject to HUD's regulatory requirements under 24 Code of Federal Regulations Part 576, with records retention requirements of five years or as otherwise specified.
