1. Overview
A. Notice of Funding Availability
The California Department of Housing and Community Development (Department/HCD) receives funding from the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for the Emergency Solutions Grants (ESG) program and allocates funds to eligible Continuum of Care (CoC) service areas.
This Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) includes approximately $39 million in federal ESG funds, of which approximately $12 million will be available with FY2024 funds; approximately $12 million may be available with estimated FY2025 funds; approximately $12 million may be available with estimated FY2026 funds; and approximately $3 million in disencumbered funds. Funding will be allocated to eligible CoC ser vice areas listed in Append
ix A.
Applicants are responsible for administering ESG funds in collaboration with the local CoC for its respective CoC service area. This NOFA also provides documentation requirements for Service Providers approved to administer available ESG funding.
All references to the “State” are references to the State of California. All references to ESG funding reference federal ESG funds administered by the Department, unless otherwise noted.
The ESG Program provides funding for the following objectives:
•
Engaging individuals and families experiencing homelessness. • I
mproving the number and quality of Emergency Shelters (ES) for individuals and families experiencing homelessness by helping to operate these shelters and by providing essential services to shelter residents. • R
apidly re-housing individuals and families experiencing homelessness. • Preventing families/individuals from becoming homeless.
B. Authorizing Legislation and Regulation Authority
This NOFA should be read in conjunction with the following regulations, statutes, and plans, which establish state and federal ESG requirements, all of which may be amended from time to time:

Several of the terms used in the ESG NOFA have specific meanings defined by state guidelines and/or federal regulations. When reviewing this NOFA and the application forms, carefully review the regulations for further defined terms. If state or federal statutes or regulations, or other laws, policies, or procedures governing ESG or its funding are modified by Congress, HUD, the State Legislature, or the Department prior to completion of work to be done pursuant to awards made in connection with this NOFA, the changes may become effective immediately and apply to funded activities. Any inconsistencies between this NOFA and state guidelines or federal regulations will be resolved in favor of applicable regulations.
The Department reserves the right at its sole discretion to suspend, amend, and/or supplement the provisions of this NOFA from time to time. If such action occurs, the Department will notify interested parties through the Department’s ESG Listserv (https://www.hcd.ca.gov/contact-us/email-signup).
Awards made under this NOFA are also contingent upon the Department receiving an annual grant agreement from HUD.

D. New ESG Guidelines and Summary of Major Changes
Senate Bill 197 (2021-2022) and Assembly Bill 1978 (2021-2022) include amendments to the Health and Safety Code [HSC 50899.1 - 50899.8], giving the Department new authorizations, including, but not limited to, the ability to adopt program guidelines for the federal ESG Program (replacing the existing ESG State Regulations).
Three-Year Estimated Amount of Funding and Multi-Year Contracts The State anticipates that HUD will continue to allocate ESG funding to the Department on an annual basis. Once HUD signs the grant agreement with the Department, the 24-month period of performance begins. Prior to the publication of the ESG Program Final Guidelines, the Department issued two annual NOFAs (Continuum of Care and Balance of State allocations), two applications and two Standard Agreements for each Annual Funding Cycle.
Moving forward, the Department now plans on issuing one ESG NOFA every three years, capturing all three years of estimated HUD funding in one application and Standard Agreement. Applicants awarded under this 2024 ESG NOFA will enter into one Standard Agreement (contract) that identifies the following Annual Funding Cycles:
1 Conditioned upon receipt by the State of potential future funding from HUD for the specified 2025 funding year.
2 Conditioned upon receipt by the State of potential future funding from HUD for the specified 2026 funding year.
Department of Housing and Community Development 4
2024 Emergency Solutions Grants Program NOFA
• 1st Annual Funding Cycle (initial contract) – 2024 – 2026 P
lease note that the initial Annual Funding Cycle has an expenditure period of 21 months instead of the regular 24 months.
• 2nd Annual Funding Cycle (subsequent amendment) – 2025 – 2027 • 3rd Annual Funding Cycle (subsequent amendment) – 2026 – 2028 For each Annual Funding Cycle under this NOFA, the Department will execute a Standard Agreement (or amendment for subsequent years) and will:
• R
equest updates to the Authorizing Resolution included with the Contractor’s 2024 application;
• I
ssue an award identifying the Contractor’s annual allocation for the Annual Funding Cycle;
• R
equire signed acceptance (or rejection) of the new annual allocation by the entity/person identified in the original or revised Authorizing Resolution; and
• Require completion of a new budget for each new Annual Funding Cycle and allocation.
Amendments for Subsequent Annual Funding Cycles
Funding for each subsequent Annual Funding Cycle under the Standard Agreement will be completed through a contract amendment process. Subrecipients with active contracts under this NOFA will receive notification from the Department for the updated allocations for the Annual Funding Cycles 2025 – 2027 and 2026 – 2028, once HUD has signed the grant agreement with the Department. Section 300 of the ESG Program Final Guidelines further details requirements for Standard Agreements and subsequent amendments. Pursuant to Section 306 of the ESG Program Final Guidelines, a Contractor may request to change the selected Service Provider and/or line-item changes (must be less than 25 percent of the awarded budget), which will be captured through a contract amendment process.
Method of Distribution
Prior to the publication of the ESG Program Final Guidelines, the Department issued two annual NOFAs separated into three types of funding: Continuum of Care allocation, Balance of State (BoS) allocation and Balance of State competitive allocations. This 2024 ESG NOFA’s method of distribution will reflect the following changes:
• R
emoval of BoS and Continuum of Care NOFAs allocations;
• R
emoval of BoS competitive and non-competitive funding pools; and • Removal of the three Geographic Regions (Bay Area, Central and Southern/Imperial)
Instead, one allocation will be used to calculate the estimated funding for each of the 40 eligible Continuums of Care (CoCs). NOTE: This allocation does not include San Francisco, Pasadena, Glendale, and Long Beach.
Department of Housing and Community Development 5
2024 Emergency Solutions Grants Program NOFA
The formula allocation will be calculated using the current annual funding year and multiplied by three (3) to arrive at the estimated funding amount. The formula allocation will be calculated using the formula factors outlined in Section 200(b) of the ESG Program Final Guidelines. Pursuant to Section 200(b)(3) of the ESG Program Final Guidelines, the Department may adjust the weighting of these factors for the first Annual Funding Cycle, to provide a transitional adjustment period for CoCs. In addition, the Department may cap funds available to a Service Area (Los Angeles) in order to achieve a greater geographic balance of the funds among all eligible CoCs in the State.
The formula allocation will be calculated for the three Annual Funding Cycles in this NOFA:
• Annual Funding Cycle #1 (2024 – 2026);
• Annual Funding Cycle #2 (2025 – 2027); and
• Annual Funding Cycle #3 (2026 – 2028)
NOTE: Year 2029 is added to this NOFA to allow time for Contractors to clear monitoring findings identified under this Standard Agreement, which has a term of five (5) years.
Emergency Shelter – Night-by-Night Shelters
Effective with this 2024 ESG NOFA, the Department will no longer fund ES (Night- By-Night/“NBN”) projects (with minimum or maximum lengths of stay). NBN shelters are typically high-volume shelters where a large proportion of clients spend one night at the shelter on an as needed or irregular basis. The ESG Program will continue to fund ES projects that require or strongly encourage a continuous stay while a client resolves their experience of homelessness.
A one-time waiver to this prohibition may be granted, only in the event that an ES (NBN) project is a community’s only shelter available. There must be a plan to convert the ES (NBN) into an ES (Entry/Exit) project in the near future. The Department reserves the right to review any waiver requests on a case-by-case basis and make a final determination at the Department’s sole discretion.
An Emergency Shelter Manual has been developed and is available to all ESG CoCs and Stakeholders for guidance on operating ES programs. Please see the ESG Webpage (Resources):

Department of Housing and Community Development 8
2024 Emergency Solutions Grants Program NOFA
Applicants interested in applying for the match exemption must submit the request and required documentation at the time of application submission via eCivis.
NOTE: The exemption request is only valid for the term of the Standard Agreement; no other funding year(s) will apply under this application. Information noted below is not all inclusive. For specific details on the Department ESG match policy, please read the ESG Pr ogram Final Guidelines and the “ESG Ma

(https://www.hcd.ca.gov/sites/default/files/docs/grants-and-funding/esg/cahcd-esg- match-policy.pdf) on the Department’s webpage.
Match Exemption Score
Under each fiscal year’s (FY’s) annual ESG allocation, the Department is not required to match the first $100,000 allocated. The Department is required to pass this benefit to the Subrecipient or Subrecipients who are least able to provide match.
The Department uses its annual Subrecipient ESG application process to determine which Subrecipient(s) will receive the match exemption via the following process.
Each Subrecipient’s application will receive a “Match Exemption Score” (up to a maximum of 10 points), which is calculated as follows:
Points Category

• During the previous year, the
Subrecipient provided 75% or less of
its match requirements.
Up to 5 points
Subrecipients who indicate as part of the
application that they would like to receive the
match exemption; points will be awarded
based on a short narrative in which
Subrecipients will be asked to explain the
circumstances that qualify them as unable to
meet the match requirement, with more points
being allocated to Subrecipients reporting
greater relative need.
If one Subrecipient receives the highest ‘match exemption score,’ that Subrecipient will receive the full $100,000 match exemption. If multiple Subrecipients receive the highest ‘match exemption score,’ the match exemption will be split evenly among the highest-scoring Subrecipients at the Department’s discretion.
The Department has final decision on which Subrecipient(s) benefit from the match exemption.
Approved Policies and Procedures (P&Ps) for all Awarded Activities All Subrecipients are required to develop, implement, and submit written P&Ps at the time of application. Subrecipient P&Ps must fully detail how the program will be administered. All P&Ps will be reviewed and approved by the Department prior to submission of the first Request for Funds for reimbursement.
At minimum, P&Ps must include the following content pieces:

ng Racial Equity
Pursuant to direction from HUD, as provided at the links below, Contractors should prioritize the advancement of racial equity at all levels of the homeless response system. The Department asks Contractors to be leaders in their homeless response systems, facilitating partnerships among service organizations and promoting racial equity practices. Contractors must respond to disproportionality in access to services, service provision and outcomes. Contractors cannot simply rely on delivering a standardization of services to address equity. Contractors have the responsibility to examine their data to ensure all eligible persons receive equitable services, support,
Department of Housing and Community Development 12
2024 Emergency Solutions Grants Program NOFA
and are served with dignity, respect, and compassion regardless of circumstances, ability, or identity.
When applying for ESG funds, Applicants should address:
• W hat are your community’s racial demographics and the demographics of those within your homeless response system?
• I n your community’s captured data, what are the outcomes of the homeless response system based on race? What are your requirements for all Service Providers to analyze data to determine racial disparities and then put a plan in place to address them?
• H ow do underserved and marginalized communities learn about and enter ESG programming? What marketing and communication strategies are used to increase equitable access to ESG programming?
• H ow does your grant making process include prioritization for programs that are addressing the disproportionate impacts that homelessness has on communities of color, particularly Black, Latinx, Asian, Pacific Islander, and Native and Indigenous communities?
• H ow are the voices of Black, Latinx, Asian, Pacific Islander, Native and Indigenous communities, and those with lived experience of homelessness being centered in a meaningful, sustained way in creating effective approaches to reducing and ending homelessness? How are they involved in the funding decision-making process?
• H ow are these funds accessible to smaller and non -traditional organizations that have historically been serving communities of color but may not have previously participated formally in the CoC or be a part of the homeless Service Provider community, and how would these funds address the organizational capacity of organizations that are led by Black, Latinx, Asian, Pacific Islander, and Native and Indigenous people that support the goal of making homelessness rare, brief, and non-recurring? • L ist your partner organizations that are addressing racial equity in the housing and homeless response system and how do you partner with them?
The Department will require Applicants to submit related racial and ethnic data metrics of the homeless population and those served by the COC service area from their Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) on a quarterly reporting basis.
The Department recommends that Contractors refer to and utilize the Racial Equity Tools available on the HUD Exchange to inform efforts to advance racial equity within the homeless response system. The tools are available at the following link: https://www.hudexchange.info/resource/5787/coc-analysis-tool- race-and-ethnicity/.
The Department also encourages Contractors to refer to the Increasing Equity in the Homeless Response System through Expanding Procurement Tool from the

B. Eligible Activities (24 C.F.R. § 576.101 - 576.107)
ESG funds may be used for five program components: Street Outreach, Emergency Shelter, Homelessness Prevention, Rapid Rehousing, and Homeless Management Information System (HMIS), in addition to Administrative Activities.
Eligible Activities that may be funded under each component are set forth in 24 C.F.R. § 576.101 through 24 C.F.R. § 576.107.
A minimum of 40 percent of all Contractor’s awarded contract/budget must include the Rapid Rehousing component.
Homelessness Prevention will be limited to no more than 10 percent of any awarded contract/budget and will not be awarded as a standalone activity.
E
SG Shelter Operations funds may be used for maintenance activities that do not materially add to the value of the building/property; do not appreciably prolong the useful life of the building/property; and do not adapt the building/property to new uses. Examples of maintenance activities could include activities such as replacing a few shingles on a leaky roof; patching leaking pipes or plumbing; replacing a broken window; fixing a crack in a sidewalk; and filling potholes in a parking lot. Please note, the requirements of the
Build America, Buy America Act
(the Act/BABA) may apply to minor repairs. See Section IV of this NOFA for more information about BABA.
NOTE: Rental assistance payments provided as part of an RRH or HP activity under 24 C.F.R. § 576.106 cannot exceed HUD’s Fair Market Rent (FMR) as provided under 24 C.F.R. Part 888 unless a waiver is granted by HUD and must comply with HUD’s standard for rent reasonableness as established under 24 C.F.R. § 982.507.
The Department has asked HUD for a waiver of 2025 FMR and will notify applicants awarded funds if the waiver is granted. It is the Department’s intent to request a waiver each year if there is a disparity between FMR and average rents in California’s Continuum of Care service areas.
C. Amounts Available for Continuum of Care Activities
Eligible Administrative Activities are set forth in 24 C.F.R. § 576.108. The Department will share one percent of federal funds for all those awarded for direct administrative costs.
