originally served with ESG assistance (i.e., battered spouses, runaway 
children, families, or mentally ill individuals), or persons in the same 
geographic area.

applicable under paragraph (a) of this section begin to run:

shelter for the homeless before receipt of grant amounts under this 
part, on the date of initial occupancy as an emergency shelter for the 
homeless.
    (2) In the case of a building that was operated as an emergency 
shelter before receipt of grant amounts under this part, on the date 
that grant amounts are first obligated for the shelter.
