Program and eligible applicants
The City of Canton, Ohio, is accepting FY2027 Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) applications through its authorized local administrator, Stark Housing Network and the Homeless Continuum of Care of Stark County (HCCSC). This is a competitive applicant-facing subgrant of federal HUD ESG assistance, not a City purchase of vendor services. The controlling FY2027 ESG Application Guidance limits applicants to incorporated Ohio nonprofit organizations that serve people experiencing or at risk of homelessness in the City of Canton. Applicants must actively participate in HCCSC, the Homeless Management Information System (or permitted comparable domestic-violence system), and coordinated entry.
Current application window and submission
Application deadline: November 6, 2026, at 11:59 p.m. The controlling 2027 guidance and current administrator application page agree on this date and time; neither specifies a time zone. Submit the completed official application with all required attachments via email to mbragg@starkhousingnetwork.org. A separate application is required for each project and activity type. Late or incomplete applications are not considered. One paragraph in a general City notice still displays October 31, 2026 for ESG, but the controlling FY2027 program guidance and current administrator page specify November 6; applicants should confirm with the administrator if uncertain.
Funding, match, allowable activities and restrictions
Individual applicant maximum or award range: not published in the controlling public program guidance. Do not treat the City HUD allocation as an individual applicant award. A dollar-for-dollar (100%) project match is required, from eligible cash, donated materials/buildings or documented volunteer services as detailed in the guidance. Payments are reimbursement-only, requiring monthly requests, supporting documentation and progress reporting. The eligible project components include street outreach, emergency shelter services and operations, homelessness prevention, rapid re-housing and HMIS. Activities must comply with HUD 24 CFR 576, applicable cost principles, accessibility and other federal requirements; applicants must be in good standing, and have an active SAM.gov Unique Entity Identifier before a City award agreement. Requested supporting items include financial statements and audits, current budget, IRS 501(c)(3) determination, incorporation documentation, board records and required compliance forms. The agreement establishes the final award and component.
