The Department of Housing and Urban Development's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development awarded York County $200,352 under the Emergency Solutions Grant Program (CFDA 14.231) on September 24, 2025.
ESG funds support street outreach, emergency shelter operations, rapid rehousing assistance, and homelessness prevention activities. The program enables communities to engage homeless individuals living on the street, improve emergency shelter capacity and quality, operate shelters, provide essential services to shelter residents, and rapidly rehouse homeless individuals and families while preventing homelessness.
York County, a local government entity headquartered in York, Pennsylvania, received the award for performance at its York, Pennsylvania location through September 23, 2027. The award obligated $200,352. York County functions as a pass-through entity distributing sub-awards to nonprofit providers and community organizations to deliver homelessness interventions and housing stability services across the county. The county's ESG allocation represents part of a broader portfolio of HUD funding for housing and homelessness programs, alongside HOME Investment Partnerships Program formula grants and Continuum of Care project grants supporting permanent supportive housing, rapid rehousing, transitional housing, and homeless management information systems.
