Homeless Assistance Grant Program

The Homeless Assistance Grant Program provides grants to eligible applicants for emergency shelter, supportive housing, and permanent supportive housing activities that meet the housing needs of homeless families and individuals. Grants funds are provided through the federal Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) and the Ohio Housing Trust Fund (OHTF). Nonprofit organizations, local governments, public housing authorities and consortia of any eligible applicants may apply.

NEW – Activities formerly funded through the Homeless Assistance Grant Program are now funded through the following programs:

• Facility-based Transitional Housing programs and Permanent Supportive Housing programs are now funded through the FY 2013 Supportive Housing Program.
• Tenant-based Transitional Housing and Emergency Shelter programs are now funded under the Homeless Crisis Response Program.
