Request for proposal : Emergency Shelter Grants Program.

Congress will again appropriate funds under the Stewart B. McKinney Act for the Emergency Shelter Grants Program (ESG). This program is funded through the federal Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Funds are provided to expand and improve the number and quality of emergency shelters for the homeless, and for homeless prevention activities. The Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity (DCEO) is distributing this Request For Proposal, subject to change, based upon comments that may be received during the public hearing process for the Consolidated Plan. Funds are being made available to local governments and/or not-for-profit organizations providing shelter and/or services within the State of Illinois, but outside of Cook County and the City of Chicago. The department is requesting proposals from local governments on behalf of private not-for-profit, tax-exempt organizations or directly from private not-for-profit, organizations serving the homeless. Grants from $10,000 to $75,000 are available to cover expenses incurred between April 1, 2009, and March 31, 2010.
