Body
BACKGROUND: Beginning in 1987 the City of Norman sponsored local homeless agencies for funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) that was provided to the Oklahoma Department of Commerce (ODOC) for distribution. It is a requirement of ODOC that Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) Program applications are sponsored by a unit of local government. Each application submitted by a unit of local government, designates a homeless service provider that will receive the pass thru funding for the designated activities. On May 3, 2012 ODOC announced Requests for Applications (RFA) for Funding for the ESG. The RFA’s were for 2012 funds.
The 2012 allocation of funding was $1,604,890 statewide. The process to secure the funds was done through a statewide competition with scoring done by ODOC. There were two tiers of funding available per application depending on the services that were applied for, with each tier having the amount of $50,000 each with a maximum award of $100,000 per agency. Applications for these funds were due at ODOC on June 15, 2012. Funding was expected to be available from approximately October 1, 2012 through September 30, 2013. The contract period will be October 1, 2012 through September 30, 2013, although the contracts are just now available to approve. All ESG expenditures by the homeless service agency are on a reimbursement basis from the City of Norman who is then reimbursed by ODOC.
Eligible expenditures from October 1, 2012 will be able to be reimbursed by the grant.
