  CHAPTER V--OFFICE OF ASSISTANT SECRETARY FOR COMMUNITY PLANNING AND 
        DEVELOPMENT, DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT
 
PART 576_EMERGENCY SHELTER GRANTS PROGRAM: STEWART B. McKINNEY HOMELESS

Sec. 576.1  Applicability and purpose.


    This part implements the Emergency Shelter Grants program contained 
in subtitle B of title IV of the Stewart B. McKinney Homeless Assistance 
Act (42 U.S.C. 11371-11378). The program authorizes the Secretary to 
make grants to States, units of general local government, territories, 
and Indian tribes (and to private nonprofit organizations providing 
assistance to homeless individuals in the case of grants made with 
reallocated amounts) for the rehabilitation or conversion of buildings 
for use as emergency shelter for the homeless, for the payment of 
certain operating expenses and essential services in connection with 
emergency shelters for the homeless, and for homeless prevention 
activities. The program is designed to be the first step in a continuum 
of assistance to enable homeless individuals and families to move toward 
independent living as well as to prevent homelessness.
