The Westchester County Department of Planning is pleased to announce the release of a Request for Application (RFA) for Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) funding.
This funding opportunity is focused on homelessness prevention and emergency shelter services. Eligible applicants are encouraged to review the RFA and submit proposals that address the immediate housing needs of individuals and families at risk of homelessness or residing in an emergency shelter.

Volunteers are urgently needed.
As of Saturday, November 1st, 3 million New Yorkers, including 131,000 residents in Westchester, Rockland, and Putnam Counties, did not receive their SNAP benefits. Residents in need are turning to local food distribution programs, which have already seen an increase in clients this year.
Local food distribution programs are stepping up to fill the gap, but the demand for support is growing rapidly – and they need our help now more than ever.
Volunteer New York! fills critical volunteer roles at local community partners, by maintaining a 24/7 online volunteer opportunity database, making it easy to get volunteers where they are needed most: food pantries, soup kitchens, and essential goods providers. We build capacity for community partners as they scale up to meet the community's needs by connecting caring neighbors like you to opportunities where you can make an immediate impact.
Due to the government shutdown, SNAP benefits may be delayed. See below for a list of resources that may benefit those whom may be in need.
We invite you to learn more about the following topics:
Aging in Place
Housing Assistance
Legal Issues and Arrears
Case Management Services
Caregiver Support
Social Adult Day Services
Nutrition, Health & Wellness
. . . and more!
