Lake County Continuum of Care plans Oct. 19 town hall
The town hall will take place beginning at 6 p.m. Monday, Oct. 19, via Zoom. It also will be live-streamed on Facebook.
During the town hall, officials will introduce the Continuum of Care and receive public input on the usage of the Emergency Solutions Grant for COVID response, or ESG-CV, funds that the group has received.
The Lake County Continuum of Care Program is designed to promote communitywide commitment to the goal of ending homelessness; provide grant funding for efforts by nonprofit providers and local governments to quickly rehouse homeless individuals and families while minimizing the trauma and dislocation caused to homeless individuals, families, and communities by homelessness; and promote access to programs to optimize self-sufficiency among individuals and families experiencing homelessness.
As part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security, or CARES, Act, Public Law 116-136, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development created special Emergency Solution Grants to be used to prevent, prepare for, and respond to the coronavirus pandemic among individuals and families who are homeless or receiving homeless assistance.
The funds are also to support additional homeless assistance and homelessness prevention activities to mitigate the impacts of COVID-19.
The Lake County Continuum of Care will be receiving an allocation of ESG-CV funding to be used for these purposes.
The purpose of the Oct. 19 meeting is for the community and its citizens to learn about what the Continuum of Care does in the community, how it operates and how to participate in it.
The town hall also will provide an opportunity for the community to provide input on how the ESG-CV funds received by the Continuum of Care can be utilized in respect to the requirements of the grant.
