Balance of State Continuum of Care Regional Meeting: Durham
Durham Regional Balance of State Continuum of Care Meeting:
Durham South Regional Library 4505 South Alston Avenue Durham, NC 27713
1:00PM-2:00PM
The Balance of State Continuum of Care is hosting three regional meetings in conjunction with the State ESG Regional Meetings.
Under the State’s proposed plan for ESG, all applications for ESG funds will come through the Balance of State Continuum of Care and be submitted as one community (CoC-wide) application. Current ESG grantees and interested applicants should attend one of these regional meetings to learn more.
These meetings will give agencies within the Balance of State area a chance to meet each other, discuss CoC and ESG funding opportunities, and to learn more about the BoS CoC in general. All homeless services stakeholders are welcome, and encouraged to attend. The meeting will include time for a meet-and-greet and also a brief presentation on the Balance of State Continuum of Care purpose and structure.
Registration is needed to attend the meetings. Please note, you will need to register for the State ESG meeting and the BoS meeting each, separately.
These regional meetings will take place before or after the state coordinated meetings regarding new ESG funding. The meetings will be in the same location as the state meetings.
Please contact NCCEH for questions or for more information: bos@ncceh.org or 919-755-4393

We look forward to seeing you there.
Durham Regional ESG Meeting
The Department of Housing and Urban Development issued interim rules for the Emergency Solutions Grant Program (ESG), formerly known as the Emergency Shelter Grants Program, in January 2012. In response, the NC DHHS office held conference calls to review the federal rules and to discuss the direction of the NC ESG Program, as well as a meeting with partners, representing specific segments of providers and networks that assist homeless persons, to further engage them in the process to create the NC ESG Program.
NC DHHS is pleased to further engage partners in the homeless network by inviting your community to participate in one of six regional meetings to be held in Durham, Hickory, Asheville, Greenville, Wilmington and Winston-Salem.
NC DHHS is pleased to further engage partners in the homeless network by inviting your community to participate in one of six regional meetings to be held in Durham, Hickory, Asheville, Greenville, Wilmington and Winston-Salem.
Regional meetings are designed as a tool for sharing information as well as an opportunity to receive valued feedback from our partners. These meetings will be of interest to current ESG funded agencies, CoC members, agencies that do not receive ESG funds but who do provide homeless services, current HPRP funded agencies, emergency assistance providers, 10 Year Plan stakeholders, and some local government staff and officials. There is no fee for participation in these meetings. In some cases, local CoCs will hold a follow up meeting with local members immediately following the regional meeting. However, no meeting is CoC specific – so anyone from any region of the state is welcome to attend any of the meetings.

HUD Webinar: Building the Bridge - HPRP to ESG
Many jurisdictions are closing out their Homelessness Prevention and Rapid Re-Housing Program (HPRP) and implementing the new Emergency Solutions Grants (ESG) program under the ESG Interim Rule. Now is the time to leverage existing community resources and capacities from the HPRP to ensure a smooth transition to ESG. This webinar applies lessons learned from HPRP to the implementation of ESG. Understanding the overlapping goals and programmatic details of the two programs will help identify where to focus planning efforts to ensure a successful transition.
