As the HUD-designated lead agency, we serve as the collaborative applicant for federal funding requests for our Continuum of Care. Below you’ll find information about each of the opportunities to apply for organizational and programmatic funding.
The City of Omaha administers the federal Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) funds. Eligible activities that will be considered for ESG funds include emergency shelter, rapid rehousing, and HMIS.

Each year the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) funds Continuum of Care programs for projects provide housing assistance and/or supportive services to people experiencing homelessness, as well as costs related to planning and data collection. Threshold CoC is the lead agency on this collaborative grant which brought 5.8 million dollars into our continuum in 2023.
