NC Balance of State ESG-CV
On Friday, December 04, 2020, the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services (NC DHHS) released a grant opportunity for non-profits and local units of government to provide services related to assisting individuals or families experiencing homelessness or at-risk of becoming homeless affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. This is the second opportunity for agencies to apply for Emergency Solutions Grant CARES Act funding.
All agencies applying for NC ESG-CV-2 funding from NC DHHS to serve counties within the North Carolina Balance of State Continuum of Care (NC BoS CoC) must follow the instructions below.
Regional Committees
One Regional Application will be completed by NC BoS CoC staff for the seventy-nine counties. Regional Committees do not need to complete a Regional Application or Budget. Regional Committees will be involved in approving project applications.
