Then select Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) Program for a list of webinars) Database Requirements Recipients of ESG funds will be required to participate in the local Homeless Management Information System (HMIS). HMIS is a system for tracking the use of homeless programs and producing an unduplicated count of the people using those programs. In addition to participating in HMIS funded organizations, as part of the agreement with the City, will need to allow certain data sharing in HMIS to ensure duplicate services are not being provided. In the course of awarding grants or implementing programs under this title, [HUD] shall instruct any victim service provider that is a recipient or subgrantee not to disclose for purposes of the Homeless Management Information System any personally identifying information about any client. The Secretary may, after public notice and comment, require or ask such recipients and subgrantees to disclose for purposes of the Homeless Management Information System nonpersonally identifying information that has been de- identified, encrypted, or otherwise encoded. Nothing in this section shall be construed to supersede any provision of any Federal, State, or local law that provides greater protection than this subsection for victims of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking. Additional Requirements The City has the discretion to limit funding of activities beyond those limitations placed by HUD. Organizations may not use ESG funds for the purchase of capital assets or undergo capital improvements. Each sub - grantee must match dollar- for - dollar the ESG funding provided with funds from other public or private sources. ESG funds provided from another source may not be used as matching funds for Santa Ana ESG awards. This application will be available for public display; therefore do not include any information that is subject to state or federal confidentiality regulations, for example, an address to a domestic violence shelter. ESG is a reimbursement grant and reimbursements requests are allowed on a quarterly basis, therefore organizations must have enough working capital to continue services until a reimbursement request can be processed by the City. 3 19D-6
