Federal Grant Award Summary

Fairfax County Government received a Formula Grant award of $510,107.00 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, obligated on January 30, 2026, with completion expected by January 29, 2028, supports the county's efforts to address homelessness and housing instability across five primary program components: street outreach, emergency shelter operations, homelessness prevention, rapid re-housing assistance, and Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) activities.

Through this funding, Fairfax County will engage individuals and families experiencing homelessness on the street, improve emergency shelter capacity and quality, provide essential services to shelter residents, and assist homeless individuals and families in rapidly regaining permanent housing stability. The grant also supports homelessness prevention activities to help at-risk individuals and families avoid housing crises. Administrative activities necessary to support these program components are eligible uses of the funding, with all ESG-funded activities subject to compliance with HUD regulations and documentation requirements outlined in 24 CFR Part 576.
