Over $2.9 million in program grants will assist homeless shelters and support homeless services in 19 counties and five municipalities in Maryland. In Fiscal Year 2017, over 6,200 Marylanders experiencing or at risk of homelessness were assisted with services through the Emergency Solutions Grants program. The awards are expected to leverage over $3.4 million in additional funding.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cHomelessness affects all parts of Maryland,\u201d said Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development Secretary Kenneth C. Holt. \u201cThe state is proud to partner with local communities and nonprofit service providers through the Emergency Solutions Grants program to shelter and support this vulnerable population.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Emergency Solutions Grants funds are used to support shelter operations, outreach, as well as prevention and rapid re-housing. Rapid re-housing is an important, evidence-based strategy that quickly moves homeless households back into housing and provides time-limited services that are scaled to the need of the family.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Fiscal Year 2018 Emergency Solutions Grants program awardees are:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Allegany County &#8211;
