Homeless Crisis Response Program: Federal and State Split Instruction Addendum and Allocation Table Posted
The Office of Community Development (OCD) provides funding to Homeless Crisis Response Program (HCRP) grantees using a combination of Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) funds and Ohio Housing Trust Funds (OHTF). Because these two funding sources operate on different grant cycles, several HCRP grantees will receive both an ESG and OHTF allocation.
The amount of ESG and OHTF allocated for each program is listed in the 2022 Allocation Table. Agencies receiving both an ESG and OHTF allocation will need to complete two separate 2022 HCRP applications in OCEAN, while agencies receiving an OHTF only allocation will submit a single HCRP 2022 application.
Agencies receiving both an ESG and OHTF allocation will submit two identical OCEAN applications except for anything related to the budget, which includes: Financing Data, Project Details, Activity Information, Activity Leveraging, and the attached budget document. These items will differ based on their respective ESG and OHTF allocations. The ESG allocation also includes an administrative amount and ESG grantees will need to apply for that amount to maximize the amount of ESG funds available for the HCRP. Historical Outcomes, Projected Outcomes and all other Grant Request Documents will be the same for both applications.
The ESG grant work period will be 18 months (1/1/2023 - 6/30/2024) and the OHTF grant work period will be 24 months (1/1/2023 - 12/31/2024) to reflect the different ESG and OHTF program cycles. Therefore, grantees should expend their ESG grants funds prior to expending their OHTF grant funds. Agencies receiving both ESG and OHTF funding should not create separate Homeless Management Information Systems (HMIS) projects for the different funding sources.
Grantees receiving federal funds should attach proof of an active Unique Entity Identifier (formerly DUNS) with the System for Award Management in OCEAN.
