Addendum #1 Including FAQ #1 updated 12/4/2020 Opportunity Summary The State of Oregon, acting by and through its Housing and Community Services Department, ("Agency"), is issuing this Request for Applications ("RFA") to solicit Applications from qualified entities to receive Federal Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) Coronavirus Relief ("ESG-CV") program funds to address homelessness, as authorized under the federal Homeless Emergency Assistance and Rapid Transition to Housing ("HEARTH") Act of 2009 and consistent with state requirements. On March 27, 2020, Congress passed the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act (the "CARES Act"). The CARES Act identified additional funding for the ESG-CV program to be utilized to prevent, prepare for, and respond to COVID-19 for individuals and families who are experiencing homelessness or receiving homelessness assistance, and to support additional homelessness assistance and homeless prevention activities to mitigate the impact created by COVID-19. The ESG-CV program funds are made in addition to annual 2019-2020 grants and 2020-2021 grants and are subject to unique CARES Act guidelines provided in the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development ("HUD") guidance. The ESG program provides grant funding to: (1) engage homeless individuals and families living on the street, (2) rapidly re-house homeless individuals and families, (3) help operate and provide essential services in emergency shelters for homeless individuals and families, (4) prevent individuals and families from becoming homeless, (5) support data collection, and (6) support administrative services. These ESG program activities and COVID-19 specific flexibilities-in conjunction with collaboration across service provides and funding sources -will form the foundation of all ESG-CV projects.
