Any forthcoming legislation to address the impact of the coronavirus must include an additional $11.5 billion in Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) funding.
This combined with the $4 billion previously provided in the CARES Act will reach the funding level needed to expand access to emergency shelter, short-term rental assistance, and housing stabilization services.
ESG funds should also be used to provide medical respite care, outreach, and street medicine for people experiencing homelessness.
