City of Salina Encourages Agencies to Apply for Emergency Solutions Grant

Grant Funding for Prevention of Homelessness, Providing Housing Stability, Opens for Applications

The Kansas Housing Resources Corporation opened applications for the Emergency Solutions Grant on Monday, March 11, 2024. Through a local government agency, the Emergency Solutions Grant provides nonprofit agencies funding to provide emergency housing services and housing stability to Salina residents in need. The City of Salina has been the local government entity for the grant for over two decades. The fund matching grant gives local agencies more opportunities to provide housing stability, prevent homelessness, and fund shelter operations and outreach. Previous agencies to receive the grant funding include Ashby House, Catholic Charities, Domestic Violence Association of Central Kansas (DVACK) and Salina Grace.

The City of Salina encourages nonprofit agencies interested in receiving funding to assist Salina’s homeless population or at-risk of homelessness population to contact the Community Relations Division to learn more about the grant and its funding opportunities. To be included in the City’s grant application, agencies will be required to provide completed grant application and all supporting documents by Friday, April 26th by 5PM.
