Summary of Request:
The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act, passed by Congress on March 27, 2020, included funds for homeless services through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s (HUD) Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG-CV) to support Continua of Care (CoC) in addressing COVID-19 among those experiencing homelessness. On October 2, 2020, the Department of Housing and Community Development released a second Notice of Funding Availability for the ESG-CV. The ESG-CV provides funding to prevent, prepare for, and respond to coronavirus among individuals and families who are experiencing homelessness or receiving homeless assistance and to support additional homeless assistance and homeless prevention activities to mitigate the impacts created by coronavirus. ESG-CV funds for non-entitlement CoC jurisdictions, such as Mendocino County, are distributed to State Governments, which then release funds directly to the CoC. The grant deadline of October 28, 2020, was extended to November 4, 2020, for communities affected by recent wildfires, which includes Mendocino County. If awarded, the contract is anticipated to start upon full execution by both parties and shall continue through September 30, 2022; however, the funds must be expended by August 31, 2022.
Mendocino County Health and Human Services Agency is the administrative entity for the Mendocino County Homeless Services Continuum of Care, and will administer subcontracts to eligible community-based organizations to address COVID-19 among the local homeless population.
