Federal Grant Award Summary

The City of Paterson, New Jersey received a Formula Grant award of $242,969.00 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 was obligated on September 25, 2025, with a completion date of September 24, 2027. This two-year funding supports the delivery of five core ESG program components: street outreach services for homeless individuals living on the street; emergency shelter operations and facility rehabilitation or conversion; essential services provision to shelter residents; homelessness prevention assistance; and rapid re-housing services to help individuals and families quickly transition into permanent housing. Additionally, funds support Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) activities and administrative functions necessary to implement the program.

Through this award, the City of Paterson will engage individuals experiencing homelessness, improve emergency shelter capacity and quality, provide critical support services, and help vulnerable populations achieve housing stability. The ESG Program's comprehensive approach addresses both immediate shelter needs and longer-term housing solutions, enabling communities to prevent homelessness while supporting rapid stabilization for those currently experiencing housing crises. All ESG funds and associated activities must comply with the recordkeeping and compliance requirements outlined in 24 CFR 576 and 2 CFR 200, with financial records maintained for the greater of five years or as otherwise specified in federal regulations.
