City of San José Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) — Housing Stability

About This Program

The City of San José's Emergency Solutions Grant program funds nonprofit organizations that provide housing stability services including emergency shelter, homelessness prevention, and rapid rehousing. While ESG does not directly fund home repairs, it can provide emergency utility assistance and case management to help very-low-income homeowners stay housed while navigating repair programs.
