ESG CARES Act Subrecipient and Contractor Monitoring

HUD OIG is auditing HUD's Coronavirus, Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act, Emergency Solutions Grants (ESG-CV) program, which is a grant program that funds rapid re-housing, homelessness prevention programs, and emergency shelters for people experiencing homelessness. The CARES Act provided nearly $4 billion special ESG funds to prevent, prepare for, and respond to the coronavirus pandemic. Our objective is to assess HUD's monitoring of ESG CARES Act grantees to ensure grantee monitoring of subrecipients and contractors that carry out the program meets program requirements.
