FY 26-27 MSHDA ESG Program Implementation

A recent meeting document Washtenaw County Continuum of Care Board - Agenda - 2026-05-27 indicates a future potential acquisition The agenda includes 'FY 26-27 MSHDA ESG Exhibit 1 (ACTION)' led by Abbey Wallace, CoC Policy Specialist (OCED). This refers to the Michigan State Housing Development Authority's Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) program for fiscal years 2026-2027. The ESG program typically funds a range of services and products, including rapid rehousing, homelessness prevention, emergency shelter operations, street outreach, and HMIS (Homeless Management Information System) data management. The approval of Exhibit 1 is a required step in the application and planning process, and it is highly likely that, upon award, the CoC will issue solicitations for vendors to provide direct services (such as case management, shelter operations, and outreach), technology solutions (such as HMIS software or support), and consulting services for program evaluation and compliance. Contractors in social services, technology, and consulting should monitor for RFPs related to this funding cycle.
