2024 Emergency Solutions Grants Program

The Metropolitan Development and Housing Agency (MDHA) is soliciting applications from qualified nonprofit organizations and local government agencies for eligible activities to assist individuals and families experiencing homelessness through funding under the Emergency Solutions Grants (ESG) program. These funds come from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and are administered by MDHA on behalf of the Metropolitan Government of Nashville and Davidson County.

Interested applicants can access the Request for Applications (RFA) using the link below.

All applications must be created and submitted electronically via the Neighborly Software system no later than 4 p.m. CDT Friday, Aug. 30, 2024. 

A virtual pre-application conference will be held at 11:30 a.m. CDT Tuesday, Aug. 20, 2024, via Zoom.  Details for the Zoom meeting are included in Section 3 of the RFA. The criteria for evaluating applications will be based on the items set forth in the RFA. An award will be made to the most responsive and responsible application, which in the judgment of MDHA, best meets the current needs and long-term goals of the Agency. Additionally, other requirements or restraints that may be imposed by HUD will be weighed in the decision. MDHA reserves the right to reject any applications and/or waive any informality in the solicitation process.  To request accommodation, please contact Conor O’Neil at 615-252-8562.
