[Saturday, March 30, 2019]

 The Department of Community and Economic Development (Department), Center for Community Development Operations, is anticipating receiving funding through the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development for the Emergency Solutions Grant. The Homeless Emergency Assistance and Rapid Transition to Housing Act of 2009 (Pub.L. No. 111-22) provides funding for Emergency Solutions for the Commonwealth to address the needs of homeless people through services in Rapid Rehousing, Street Outreach, Homelessness Prevention and Emergency Shelters. The focus is to help individuals and families to quickly regain stability in permanent housing after experiencing a housing crisis or homelessness, or both.

 The Department will accept applications from any general purpose units of local government, including cities, boroughs, townships, towns, counties, home rule municipalities and communities that wish to apply on behalf of other municipalities. Priority will be given to nonentitled jurisdictions; however, the Department will consider funding applications received from all eligible government jurisdictions previously listed. Nonprofits are eligible applicants or grantees to the extent the project will address a demonstrated regional need.

 The guideline review is open from April 1, 2019, through June 14, 2019. A fully executed application with all applicable attachments must be submitted to the Department through the Electronic Single Application (ESA) only during the designated time ESA is open. A webinar will be conducted on April 9, 2019. The ESA will open on May 31, 2019, and close at 5 p.m. on June 14, 2019. Applicants must submit an intent to apply form included in the application kit no later than April 15, 2019, by e-mail to shawthorne@pa.gov and their local Continuum of Care. Applications received during this time will be considered for funding. Hard copies will not be accepted. The application is located on the Department's web site at https://dced.pa.gov/programs/ emergency-solutions-grant-esg/.

 A copy of the guidelines and application may be obtained by download from the Department's previously listed web site. A hard copy may be requested by persons with a disability who wish to submit an application in accordance with the stated provisions and who require assistance with that application. Persons who require copies of this notice in an alternate format (large type, Braille, and the like) should contact Megan Snyder, 4th Floor, Commonwealth Keystone Building, Harrisburg, PA 17120, (717) 787-7404, TDD (717) 346-0308 to discuss how the Department may best accommodate those needs.
