ESG Project Narrative/ Statement of Need
Applicants must provide a need based and data-informed narrative that gives a detailed explanation of the homeless population in the community, a description of how the agency provides a comprehensive range of services by connecting participants with mainstream resources, and details to indicate if there is a gap in services that would prohibit the participant from gaining permanent housing stability.

The applicant should include actual assessments of the number of individuals/families served in the past, if applicable, the unemployment rates of the populations to be served, the most recent and available Point-in-Time data of the unsheltered homeless population, how long participants remain homeless before receiving permanent housing, identified barriers to entering the homeless system, and any other data that may support the funding requested.

The applicant must demonstrate how the funding will impact the community and how the services are aligned to meet the local Continuum of Care strategic plan, written standards and system performance measures.

Additionally, all program design forms must respond to how the agency intends to meet the needs outlined in this statement of need narrative.
