State recipients must provide all of their ESG funds (except for up to 7.5 percent for administrative costs) to units of general purpose local government or private nonprofit organization subrecipients. ESG funds are paid to recipients, who reimburse subrecipients for eligible project costs.
All recipients must consult with local Continuums of Care within the jurisdiction in determining how to allocate ESG funds.
