chronically homeless; and
WHEREAS, the program guidelines of the ESG Program limit the amount of funds that can be
dedicated for direct services to 30% of the entitlement grant allocation; and

in the 30% direct services cap by U.S. HUD; and

Program to operate as an outreach and referral program to the chronically homeless; and
WHEREAS, federal regulations authorize 3% of the grant to be utilized for administrative costs
to manage grant related activities;
