FY 2025-2026 MSHDA ESG Funding Process
Michigan Balance of State Continuum of Care (MIBOSCOC)
Annual LPB ESG Decisions Timeline
The MIBOSCOC, in consultation with MSHDA, has defined the LPB ESG Application process to align with the CoC’s stated commitment to the consensus process; ensure funding is most effectively utilized; and construct community decision-making processes that are inclusive, purposeful, and equitable.
To this end, each Local Planning Body must form an ESG Committee to participate in the funding allocation process.
The purpose of the LPB ESG committee is as follows:
• Understand all funding available in the area and what the eligible activities are for each
• Analyze and learn what the most pressing needs are for the area covered
• Work together to find an optimal funding configuration to meet the needs
