Homeless Services Consortium of Dane County

Overview

The Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG), Housing Assistance Program (HAP), and Homeless Prevention Program (HPP) are collectively referred to as the State EHH Program. ESG is federally administered by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). HUD awards ESG funding to the State of Wisconsin, Department of Administration, Division of Energy, Housing, and Community Resources (“the State”) to distribute to eligible applicants. HPP and HAP are State of Wisconsin funding sources. These three sources of funding are combined and distributed to one lead applicant in each HUD or local continuum of care (CoC).

The City of Madison Community Development Division (“the City”) was approved by the Dane CoC Board of Directors to serve as the Dane CoC’s lead applicant and submit an annual consolidated application to the State. The Dane CoC Board of Directors is responsible for making funding allocation decisions for inclusion in the consolidated application.

This local application process will be used to identify and select projects for inclusion in the Dane CoC’s consolidated application to the State.
