The purpose of the Emergency Shelter Program (ESP) is to provide reimbursement to emergency and homeless shelters to ensure that each child participating in their program will receive healthy, nutritious meals.
Who can receive these services?
Children ages 18 and under are eligible to receive these services.
How are the services provided?
The meals are provided by the approved emergency and homeless shelters which include family shelters, battered women's shelters, and other facilities whose primary purpose is to provide temporary shelter to homeless families with children.
What services are offered?
Emergency shelters not only provide care to their participants but also provide meals that meet creditable program nutrition guidelines for each meal served.
How to apply?
If your program meets the requirements, then you can contact the Amanda Goins at (803) 898-0944 to schedule an on-site orientation. During the orientation, we will review the program regulations, requirements, forms and other specifics of the emergency shelter program. After the training, you have 90 days to submit a completed application and then you are on your way to receiving reimbursement for serving healthy, nutritious meals!
Need help? We've listed some local resources that can provide assistance.

There are so many more even in London and Scotland; If by chance you need listing by state let me know.
I am deeply troubled, in doing this search, I thought OK there will be three or four per big city and a directory for each state. Boy, was I wrong there are hundreds maybe thousands, just here in the states.
That is really sad, in a country like ours, we have a need for that many shelters.Yet, our government takes the cost of living away from the elderly and the disabled. BUT, they did not fail to give themselves a raise, nice of them. I'm not talking one party over the other, it is both
I was told by an insider that there is an agreement not to use that as a polictical football. Therefore, they all know and they accept the raise with winks and nods.We seriously need to look at who is running for office at the up coming elections in the future.

Housing Development and Preservation Program
The purpose of the Housing Development and Preservation Program is to promote and facilitate housing primarily for low- and moderate-income households, in order to foster an inclusive and balanced community.
The program solicits and evaluates proposals involving requests by developers for financial assistance from the City for the construction of new housing units or the rehabilitation of existing housing units. This result in the creation of housing that is affordable to low- and moderate-income people and that will remain affordable for 90 years pursuant to an agreement recorded against the title.
For further information about the Housing Development and Preservation Program, call (805) 564-5461.

Why the concern about Affordable Housing in Santa Barbara? Santa Barbara residents enjoy a beautiful environment bordered by mountains and seashore, with clean air, a temperate climate, and charming ambiance. But this beautiful City exacts a high price from those who live here. Housing costs are among the highest in the nation, and vacancy rates are among the lowest.
The high housing costs result in problems for many residents. The gap between incomes and housing costs is great. Many people commute long distances from less expensive housing in outlying areas. Much of the housing is seriously overcrowded, as families double and triple up in order to stay in the City. Children who grow up here are often forced to leave the area in search of housing they can afford. The low vacancy rate contributes to substandard housing, as unscrupulous landlords get nearly the same rent for units they allow to deteriorate as for well-maintained units.
Responsible property owners face stiff challenges. Many local homeowners are elderly, living on fixed incomes and residing in homes that need extensive repairs. Landlords renting to low- and moderate-income people at affordable rents do not have operating budgets or reserves that can cover rehabilitation expenses.
The City has done well in creating a level of affordable housing that constitutes 12% of the City's housing stock. The City is in the process of analyzing several strategies to provide even more affordable housing opportunities.

What is Affordable Housing and Who Does it Serve? (RENT & INCOME LEVELS)
Affordable housing means housing that does not cost more than 30 percent of a household's gross income. For example, an affordable monthly rent for a household earning ,000 per month would be 0 (including utilities). For homeowners, affordable monthly housing expenses for a household earning ,000 per month would be ,200 (including mortgage payments, taxes, and condominium association fees).
The City's affordable rental housing programs are targeted to low- or very low-income households. Affordable ownership housing programs are targeted to moderate-income households. Under the City's new Density Bonus Program, units are also provided for middle and upper middle income households. The maximum limits for these and other income levels are listed in the table below. They are based on median income figures the federal government calculates annually for Santa Barbara County, with adjustments made for household size.

How does the City help first-time and other eligible homebuyers? Hundreds of condominium units and single-family homes have been constructed under the City's Housing Development and Preservation Program for eligible low, moderate, middle and upper middle income homebuyers. In acquiring their affordable homes, owners have agreed to comply with resale restrictions that limit the resale price and require a new buyer to be of low, moderate, middle income, or upper-middle income.
When owners wish to sell their homes, they contact the City to find out what the allowable resale price will be. Owners are free to select a buyer from the City's list or find their own qualified buyer. Upon request, we provide to owners our current “Interest List”. Owners are free to sell to any qualified household. There is no guarantee that they will select their buyer from the list. The interest list is also provided to developers when new projects are being marketed.
Your name remains on the “Interest List” for SIX MONTHS from the date you submit your request. It is your responsibility to submit a new written request for your name to remain on the list.

How can developers participate in creating affordable housing? The City has implemented a comprehensive program to encourage the preservation and construction of affordable housing. Santa Barbara's housing program consists of several activities. Through most of these activities the City provides financial and/or land use incentives to a developer in exchange for a recorded agreement that some or all of the housing units will remain affordable to a certain income group (for example, "low-income" or "moderate-income") for a specified number of years.
Direct Financial Assistance The program solicits and evaluates proposals involving requests by developers for financial assistance from the City for the construction of new housing units or the rehabilitation of existing housing units. This result in the creation of housing that is affordable to low- and moderate-income people and that will remain affordable for 60 years pursuant to an agreement recorded against the title.
The City primarily provides direct financial assistance to nonprofit housing developers. (For-profit developers generally participate in the density bonus program described below.) The City generally provides gap financing that is the last portion of financing that enables the developer to create a project with rents and home prices low enough to be affordable by low- and moderate-income households. Financial assistance generally comes in the form of a 30-year, three percent loan.
Density Bonus Through the City's density bonus program the City allows development of a greater number of units than would normally be allowed under the existing zoning. As a tradeoff, some or all of the units on the site are subject to rent restrictions or resale controls which provide for continued affordability to low income renters or moderate income purchasers for at least thirty years. Since the beginning of the City's density bonus program in the early 1980s, the Planning Commission has approved 58 projects with density bonus. These projects contained approximately 415 bonus units and 961 affordable units.
For details, please see the Density Bonus Program.
