November 20, 2018, City Council Regular Meeting

Title
18. Motion to Adopt a Resolution Authorizing the Increase of 2018 Emergency Solutions Grant Funding Allocations to Family Promise of Greater Savannah and Inner City Night Shelter

Strategic Priority
Economic Strength And Poverty Reduction

Description

Recommend adoption of a resolution authorizing an increase of federal Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) funding in the amount of $10,041 to Family Promise of Greater Savannah, and $10,041 to Inner City Night Shelter. The increase is due to Salvation Army's decision to decline its 2018 ESG shelter funding allocation in the amount of $20,082.00.

The Emergency Solutions Grant is awarded by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development to provide shelter and essential services for persons living in homelessness.

The amended funds will be reprogrammed to the homeless service agencies approved by City Council to support emergency shelter services in the 2018 One Year Action Plan adopted on November 9, 2017. The reallocation of ESG funding will be distributed as follows:

2018 One Year Action Plan ESG Programs	2018 Adopted	2018 Revised
Salvation Army - Emergency shelter, substance abuse services, financial assistance, case management, housing search/outreach, and supportive services for homeless women, men and children.	$20,082	$0
Family Promise of Greater Savannah: Homeless shelter, food, and other essentials to homeless families.	$14,885	$24,926
Inner City Night Shelter: Emergency shelter, food, and other essentials to homeless men with chronic substance abuse or mental illness.	$20,082	$30,123
