Emergency Solutions Grant Award Summary

The City of Flint received $323,965 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, awarded September 18, 2025, with a completion date of September 17, 2027. The ESG Program provides formula-based funding to support five core components addressing homelessness and housing instability: street outreach services to engage individuals and families experiencing homelessness; emergency shelter operations and facility rehabilitation; homelessness prevention assistance; rapid re-housing support to help people transition quickly into permanent housing; and Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) infrastructure for tracking beneficiaries and outcomes.

Under this award, the City of Flint will deploy ESG funds to deliver housing relocation and stabilization services, rental assistance, essential supportive services, and emergency shelter operations. These services are designed to help homeless individuals and families rapidly regain permanent housing stability while also preventing at-risk residents from becoming homeless. The funding supports the city's comprehensive approach to addressing homelessness as a formula grant recipient, with eligible activities governed by 24 CFR 576.101-576.107. Administrative costs associated with ESG program management are also allowable under the award.
