On September 25, 2023, the State of California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) released a Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) for the state-administered Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) Program for Homelessness Prevention (HP). Approximately $1.7 million in disencumbered federal funds is being made available for HP activities only. 


Applications will be received over-the-counter (OTC) and reviewed as they are received. HCD will close the application window once all funds have been awarded. The application can be accessed through e-Civis.

Minimum and Maximum Amounts: $75,000 - 200,000


Eligible applicants are units of general-purpose local government or state and federally recognized non-profit organizations that have the capacity to administer this funding. Applicants must submit their HP policies and procedures. Applicants who do have HCD-approved HP policies and procedures will lose their place in the OTC submission. The NOFA outlines the requirements and timelines for applicants applying for the funding.

WHAT WE DO

WHO WE ARE

Housing First Solano is a coalition of service providers in Solano County working together to end homelessness.

Point-In-Time Count 2024 Volunteer Recruitment


The Point-In-Tim (PIT) Count is a count of unsheltered people experiencing homelessness on a single night in January. This is a requirement of HUD to be conducted every other year. The PIT Count provides data that is used to determine funding from the State and Federal Government to help provide better programs and services to people experiencing or at risk of homelessness.

How you can participate:

  1. Register to volunteer on the Volunteer Registration Portal
  2. Reach out to family, friends, and co-workers to volunteer for the count
  3. Take part in the PIT Count 2024 Community Information & Planning Session on November 29, 2023

Housing First Solano works to end homelessness by:


  • Facilitating multi-agency cooperation and coordination
  • Connecting persons experiencing homelessness with housing, job, family, and medical resources
  • Securing funds from the State of California, Department of Housing and Urban Development, and private organizations to end homelessness.


We invite community members to join the Housing First Solano Continuum of Care in preventing and ending homelessness in Solano County!
