The <br />United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has changed the <br />program's focus from addressing the needs of homeless individuals in emergency or transitional <br />shelters to assisting people to regain stability in permanent housing. <br />In 2015, an Orange County ESG Collaborative was formed between the cities of Anaheim, Santa <br />Ana and Garden Grove. In December 2016, the Collaborative released a combined ESG Notice <br />of Funding Availability (NOFA) to support the Orange County Continuum of Care's goal to end <br />homelessness. The NOFA aligned values and priorities to create maximum impact and to <br />leverage funds. The NOFA included two possible one year renewals and reserved the right of <br />each city to redistribute funding. The Collaborative chose to exercise the renewal option for Fiscal <br />Year (FY) 2018 - 2019 funding. The Collaborative has not yet decided on a second one year <br />renewal for FY 2019 — 2020; a decision would be made before the end of the year. While funding <br />recommendations are made collaboratively, ESG funds are to be used to provide eligible <br />activities within each jurisdiction for which they are funded. Subrecipients awarded funding in FY <br />�. 1 <br />
