ESG-CV Rapid Rehousing, Shelter, and Outreach (RSO) Application: IHCDA is accepting applications from organizations for rapid rehousing, shelter operations, and/or street outreach (RSO) efforts due to an increased need for services due to the COVID-19 pandemic. These special ESG-CV funds are to be used to prevent, prepare for, and respond to the coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19) among individuals and families who are homeless or receiving homeless assistance; and to support additional homeless assistance and homelessness prevention activities to mitigate the impacts of COVID-19. For example:
- Rapid re-housing funds can be used to assist individuals affected by COVID-19 b providing short-term rental assistance and services that assists them in obtaining housing quickly, increasing self- sufficiency, and staying housed.
- Shelter Operations funds can be used to support emergency shelters that are experiencing increased demand for their services during the COVID-19 pandemic.
- Street Outreach funds can be used to engage unsheltered people to connect individuals with emergency services and other services to mitigate the spread of COVID-19.
