Formula Grant E25MC480508

The City of San Antonio received a Formula Grant award of $1,152,115 from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development under the Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) Program (CFDA 14.231), effective February 4, 2026, through February 3, 2028. This funding supports five key program components designed to address homelessness and housing instability: street outreach services to engage homeless individuals and families; emergency shelter rehabilitation, conversion, and operations; essential services provided to shelter residents; homelessness prevention assistance; and rapid re-housing services to help individuals and families transition into permanent housing. Additionally, funds may be allocated to establish or maintain a Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) and cover eligible administrative activities.

The ESG funding enables the City of San Antonio to provide comprehensive housing intervention services to eligible populations, including metropolitan area residents experiencing homelessness or housing crises. Through these five program components, the award supports the city's efforts to improve emergency shelter capacity and quality, deliver critical support services to vulnerable populations, prevent homelessness among at-risk families and individuals, and facilitate rapid stabilization in permanent housing. The grant period extends two years, allowing the city to implement sustainable programs that help participants quickly regain housing stability and self-sufficiency.
