Kentucky Housing Corporation Announces 2010 Emergency Shelter Grant Funding
July 5, 2010 – (RealEstateRama) — Kentucky Housing Corporation (KHC) has announced the latest recipients, outside of Fayette and Jefferson Counties, of Emergency Shelter Grant (ESG) funds. Forty-six projects proposed by nonprofit agencies and local governments will receive a total of $1,338,030 from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to assist the homeless in Kentucky.
The ESG program, administered throughout most of the state by KHC, is a federal program that helps convert and rehabilitate structures for use as emergency or transitional shelters, to fund the operation and service expenses of these shelters, and to develop programs that prevent homelessness.
KHC will conduct an ESG implementation training on Wednesday, June 23, 2010, at the Blue Grass Community Action Partnership building located at 111 Professional Court in Frankfort. All 2010 ESG recipients are required to attend. Additional information regarding this training will be available in the near future.
