Continuum of Care (CoC) Program
The Homeless Emergency Assistance and Rapid Transition to Housing Act of 2009 (HEARTH Act), enacted into law on May 20, 2009, consolidates three of the separate homeless assistance programs administered by HUD under the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act into a single grant program, and revises the Emergency Shelter Grants program and renames it the Emergency Solutions Grants program. The HEARTH Act also codifies in law the Continuum of Care planning process, a longstanding part of HUD's application process to assist homeless persons by providing greater coordination in responding to their needs. The HEARTH Act also directs HUD to promulgate regulations for these new programs and processes. Read more about the Federal CoC Program Rules.

Emergency Food & Shelter Program (EFSP)
The Emergency Food and Shelter Program (EFSP) began in 1983 with a $50 million federal appropriation. The program was created by Congress to help meet the needs of people who are hungry and homeless throughout the United States and its territories. Federal FEMA funds are allocated to nonprofit and governmental organizations for the provision of food, shelter, off-site lodging (hotel), and rent assistance in local communities. Allocations vary annually and are not guaranteed each year.
