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.
