Emergency Food and Shelter Program
The Emergency Food and Shelter Program is a Federal program administered by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. This program “supplements and expand ongoing efforts to provide shelter, food and supportive services” for the nation’s hungry, homeless and people in economic crisis.
