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.

 

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.

Please register 48 hours prior to the meeting below by clicking here. Once registration is complete, you will receive electronic confirmation and the location of the meeting.
