Introduction

HUD's Homeless Assistance Web Page is available to help you learn more about HUD's homeless assistance programs, and to keep you informed about available funding. HUD's homeless assistance programs are broken down into two main categories, formula (non-competitive), and competitive. Competitive programs are under the umbrella of Continuum of Care.

Competitive Programs

The McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act programs administered by HUD that award funds competitively require the development of a "Continuum of Care" system in the community where assistance is being sought. A continuum of care system is designed to address the critical problem of homelessness through a coordinated community-based process of identifying needs and building a system to address those needs. The approach is predicated on the understanding that homelessness is not caused merely by a lack of shelter, but involves a variety of underlying, unmet needs - physical, economic, and social. Funds are granted based on the competition following the Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA). Continuum of Care Homeless Assistance Programs include:

Formula Program (Non-Competitive)

Formula grants are awarded on the basis of the Consolidated Plan that states and local jurisdictions may fill out.

Emergency Assistance Program ♦ Information: 1-877-418-3308 (DHCD) ♦ Applications: Speak to a DHCD homeless coordinator at your local DTA office ♦ DTA offices that accept EA applications: EA Office Locations

Quick Links: Eligibility Check Benefits How to Apply

For more information, click on the questions below:

What is Emergency Assistance?

Emergency Assistance (EA) is a government program that helps low-income families with dependent children, or pregnant women, who are homeless.

Am I eligible?

To be eligible for Emergency Assistance, you must be a low-income family with dependent children under 21 years of age, or a pregnant woman with or without children. Your family's income and assets must be within the limits for the program. You must be homeless, with nowhere else to live. Also, you must be a U.S citizen or eligible noncitizen.

Eligibility Check

The Emergency Assistance Eligibility Check is an easy way for you to find out if you are likely to qualify for EA benefits, by answering questions online about your family, your living situation, your assets, and your income. You will see the results of the eligibility check right away, on your computer screen.

What benefits will I get?

Emergency Assistance offers temporary emergency shelter to homeless families, and helps homeless families find permanent public or subsidized housing.

How do I apply?

To apply for Emergency Assistance, you should speak to a DHCD homeless coordinator, who will help you with your application. DHCD homeless coordinators are located at most Department of Transitional Assistance (DTA) offices, or you can call the DHCD at 1-877-418-3308. You will need proof of identity, income, assets, and expenses.

What happens once I am approved?

If you qualify, you will get help from Emergency Assistance within 7 days of your application. You must cooperate with the housing assistance program and do what they suggest to find safe, permanent housing for your family. If you are placed in a temporary emergency shelter, you must follow the rules of the shelter.
