Free PPE for Community Based Organizations - The HHS Partnership Center is supporting HHS and FEMA’s efforts to make face coverings widely available in order to limit the spread of COVID-19. The face coverings, produced and delivered in partnership with USPS and the National Council of Textile Organizations, are being made available to community-based organizations at no cost (and while supplies last). Please feel free to share this important information with additional partners (community-based organizations, non-profit organizations, faith-based organizations).

IHCDA Updates
A clarification re: ESG rent assistance funds application
ESG-CV funds are currently available through an application process overseen by IHCDA’s Community Services division. Any nonprofit organization or government entity is welcome to apply for homeless prevention funds. Previous ESG or rental program experience is a plus but not necessarily required. For the HUB, we do ask that applicants coordinate with the local CoC regional council and submit a letter of approval from that council prior to submission.
