Section One - Notice of Funding Availability
Introduction
The County of San Diego (County) Health and Human Services Agency, Housing and Community
Development Services (HCDS), is pleased to announce the release of this Notice of Funding
Availability (NOFA) for the federal Emergency Solutions Grants (ESG) program. The County is
accepting proposals from eligible organizations providing assistance to persons experiencing
homelessness or at-risk of homelessness within the Urban County. The Urban County includes
communities located in the unincorporated area of San Diego County and the cities of Coronado,
Del Mar, Imperial Beach, Lemon Grove, Poway, and Solana Beach.
The ESG program provides funding to meet the following objectives:
1. Engage homeless individuals and families living on the street;
2. Improve the number and quality of emergency shelters for homeless individuals and
families;
3. Help operate emergency shelters;
4. Provide essential services to shelter residents;
5. Rapidly re-house homeless individuals and families; and
6. Prevent families/individuals from becoming homeless.
Eligible ESG program components include the following categories:
1. Rapid re-housing for homeless individuals and families;
2. Emergency Shelters;
3. Street Outreach;
4. Homelessness prevention; and/or
5. Homeless Management Information System (HMIS).
Funding Available
HCDS is making available approximately $340,000 in Fiscal Year 2027-28 ESG funds from HUD
under this NOFA. These funds are available to non-profit organizations and public entities
sponsoring eligible projects within the Urban County. HCDS will award one or more contracts
through this solicitation to serve the entire Urban County.
Proposals must demonstrate a plan to provide services to eligible households throughout the
Urban County, not just in specific areas. Emphasis should be placed on addressing the needs of
areas within the Urban County identified by the Point in Time Count (PITC) as having the
greatest unmet need.
The County of San Diego will provide a one-time in-kind match, as required by the funding
source, for any programs awarded and all years covered under this NOFA. The previous
requirement for ESG funding recipients to provide their own match is waived for the period
covered under this NOFA.
