The Notice of Funding Availability for the 2026 Emergency Solutions Grant has been released, and we invite all those who are interested in applying to attend the 2026 ESG Pre-Application Meeting on March 26 at 9 a.m. via Zoom.

Eligible Applicants must be private non-profit organizations with a 501(c)3 status, who are active members of the local Continuum of Care, and current users of Johnson County's Homeless Management Information System, Bitfocus-Clarity or able to become a user.

During this meeting, we will discuss which ESG components the Johnson County Continuum of Care Board determined should be prioritized if applied for, we will review the application, applicant and reporting requirements, and finish with an overview of our ESG website and next steps. 

If you are unfamiliar with the ESG, we highly recommend reviewing the Emergency Solutions Handbook and find more information on the Johnson County ESG Program.
