Consolidated Homeless Grant

The Consolidated Homeless Grant (CHG) combines state homeless resources into a single grant opportunity to county governments (and other designated entities) under the administration of Commerce. The CHG is designated to support an integrated system of housing assistance to prevent homelessness and quickly re-house households who are unsheltered. This grant provides resources to address the needs of people who are homeless or at-risk of homelessness, as described in the Local Homeless Plans for each county.

CHG funds and supports a variety of activities, including: operation of emergency shelter and transitional housing units, rental assistance, data collection and reporting. Refer to the Guidelines for Consolidated Homeless Grant for details on providing services to people who are homeless. Refer to the Administrative Requirements for Consolidated Homeless Grant for the administrative and system requirements for grantees and sub grantees, coordinated assessment, reporting, legislatively established priorities, and requirements for local homeless plans.
