or she is exiting an institution where 

they resided for 120 days or less and 

resided in an emergency shelter or place 

not meant for human habitation 

immediately before entering that 

institution. The waiver is in effect until 

June 30, 2021 and is made available 

with respect to all ESG grants, whether 

funded under the CARES Act or annual 

ESG appropriations. 

Nature of Requirement: The definition 

of homeless in 24 CFR 576.2 includes 

under paragraph (1)(iii) an individual 

who is exiting an institution where he 

or she resided for 90 days or less and 

has resided in an emergency shelter or 

place not meant for human habitation 

immediately before entering that 

institution, which is an interpretation of 

§ 103(a)(4) of the McKinney-Vento Act 

which includes an individual who 

resided in a shelter or place not meant 

for human habitation and who is exiting 

an institution where he or she 

temporarily resided (emphasis added). 

Granted By: James A. Jemison, 

Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary for 

Community Planning and Development. 

Date Granted: March 31, 2021. 

Reason Waived: HUD originally 

waived this requirement on September 

30, 2020 to keep housing options open 

for individuals who otherwise would 

have been homeless but were reporting 

longer stays in institutions as a result of 

COVID–19 (e.g., longer time in jail due 

to a postponed court dates due to courts 

closings or courts operating at reduced 

capacity and longer hospital stays when 

infected with COVID–19). Allowing 

someone who was residing in an 

emergency shelter or place not meant 

for human habitation prior to entering 

the institution to maintain their 

homeless status while residing in an 

institution for longer than 90 days is 

necessary to prevent the spread of and 

respond to COVID–19 by expanding 

housing options for people who were 

experiencing homelessness and 

institutionalized for longer than 

traditionally required due to COVID–19. 

Recipients continue to report potential 

program participants are staying in 

institutions for longer periods of time 

due to COVID–19; therefore, HUD 

extended this waiver to allow someone 

who was residing in an emergency 

shelter or place not meant for human 

habitation prior to entering the 

institution to maintain their homeless 

status while residing in an institution 

for longer than 90 days.

• Regulation: 24 CFR 576.203(a)(1). 

Project/Activity: HUD granted a 

waiver of 24 CFR 576.203(a)(1) to 

Oregon Housing and Community 

Services (OHCS), to extend its 

obligation date to March 31, 2021 to 

provide time to evaluate new 

applications, award funds, and account 

for unforeseen delays due to the 

implementation of a new funding 

approach to meet the unprecedented 

need during the COVID–19 pandemic 

and identify new subrecipients with the 

capacity to administer ESG–CV funds. 

Nature of Requirement: Section 24 

CFR 576.203(a)(1) requires states to 

obligate funds within 60 days from the

with HUD. HUD further waived this 

requirement in CPD–20–08 Notice: 

Waivers and Alternative Requirements 

for the Emergency Solutions Grants 

(ESG) Program Under the CARES Act 

(ESG–CV Notice) so long as states 

obligated funds within 180 days for 

activities it will carry out itself and 240 

days for activities it will obligate to 

subrecipients. 

Granted By: John Gibbs, Principal 

Deputy Assistant Secretary for 

Community Planning and Development. 

Date Granted: January 7, 2021. 

Reason Waived: HUD granted the 

waiver to extend OHCS’s obligation 

deadline from February 18, 2021 to 

March 31, 2021 to provide additional 

time to implement a new competitive 

process for allocating funds and 

identifying new subrecipients with the 

capacity to administer ESG CARES Act 

funds. The waiver provides OHCS with 

time needed to complete their funding 

process.
