BACKGROUND:
Clark County is eligible to receive FY 2024 ESG program funds in the approximate amount of $707,993* from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The objective of these funds is to engage homeless individuals and families, improve the number and quality of emergency shelters, aid in the operation of those shelters, provide essential services to shelter residents, rapidly rehouse homeless individuals and families by helping those persons regain stability in permanent housing, and to prevent homelessness.
In response to the solicitation for proposals, nine (9) project applications were received totaling a funding request of $788,652. On February 20, 2024, an ad hoc committee consisting of members of the Community Development Advisory Committee (CDAC) and Southern Nevada Continuum of Care Evaluation Work Group (CoC EWG) determined the ESG allocation recommendations as well as contingency plans for funding discrepancies. These recommendations were accepted and ratified by the full Community Development Advisory Committee on February 20, 2024.
The Board of County Commissioners has the final authority over the allocation of these funds, subject to the County meeting federal requirements. The allocations approved by the Board of County Commissioners will be incorporated in the FY 2024 HUD Action Plan. This agenda item allows the County Manager or his designee to approve and sign necessary resolutions for the ESG program.
The District Attorney's office has reviewed and approved this item as to form.
