TDHCA is applying to the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for $1,929,000 in ESGP funds for FY 1992. The ESGP is authorized by the Stewart B. McKinney Homeless Assistance Act of 1987 (Title IV of Public Law 100-77) as amended by Public Law 100-628. TDHCA will award funds to local governments and private nonprofit organizations on a competitive basis for the rehabilitation or conversion of buildings for use as emergency shelter for the homeless, for the payment of certain operating and support service expenses in connection with emergency shelter for the homeless, and for homeless prevention activities. TDHCA has set a minimum grant amount of $30,000 and a maximum amount of $100, 000 for each project. ESGP entitlement cities and counties are eligible for funding under the state program but only up to the amount that represents the difference between the applicable TDHCA maximum less their HUD allocations. To be eligible, an applicant must be: a unit of general local government (county or incorporated city), or a private nonprofit organization providing assistance to the homeless. Nonprofit organizations must obtain a certification from the relevant unit of general local government approving the proposed project. Applicants must plan to utilize ESGP funds for eligible activities as set forth in HUD's implementing regulations (24 Code of Federal Regulations Part 576, 54 FedReg 46,794, November 7, 1989); be able to supplement (match) the ESGP grant amount with an equal amount of resources; and ensure that all of its grant amount can be obligated within 180 days after grant award from TDHCA. Environmental assessment requirements as set forth in 24 Code of Federal Regulations Part 58 apply to ESGP. TDHCA anticipates that the request for proposal (RFP) for this program will be available in early February 1992; the proposal due date to TDHCA will be mid- March 1992; and the date for the obligation of ESGP funds will be mid-April, 1992.
