Discuss and take appropriate action on Emergency Shelter Grant (ESG) funding and HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME) funding from the Department of Housing and Urban Development.

This request is to determine if the Commissioners Court will accept or decline ESG and HOME funds from HUD.
 
HUD headquarters has not yet provided the official award letter to Williamson County regarding these funds.  However, once received, the county will have 30 days to respond.  The county is currently developing the CDBG Five-Year Consolidated Plan.  This plan should include information regarding these funds IF the county chooses to accept them.  Understanding how the court would like to proceed with ESG and HOME funds will allow for a more efficient process and submission of the Consolidated Plan to HUD by the required deadline.
