Each year, HCD receives funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development for homeless assistance under the Emergency Shelter Grant (ESG). The ESG program is designed to be the first step in a continuum of assistance to prevent homelessness and to enable homeless individuals and families to move toward independent living.
ESG funds are used by emergency shelters and transitional housing facilities for activities such as: renovation, rehabilitation and conversion of building for use an emergency shelter or transitional housing, essential services, operating costs and homeless prevention activities.
HCD currently funds four programs in San Diego County with ESG funds. Please contact providers directly for eligibility and availability:
