Homeless Assistance
Homelessness is a growing problem in Iowa as well as across the United States. In an effort to relieve the suffering of homeless Iowans, IDED has been given the responsibility of administering two grant programs which provide assistance to organizations that provide services to the homeless:
- Emergency Shelter Grants Program (ESGP)
- Homeless Shelter Operations Grants Program (HSOGP)
Eligible activities include operations of overnight shelters, meals, medical care,
legal assistance, transitional housing, and other kinds of supportive services.
