Homeless Resources

The City of Garden Grove is committed to providing resources for tenants unable to pay rent due to COVID-19, facing possible homelessness or recently becoming homeless.

To prevent or address homelessness, each year, the City of Garden Grove receives funding under the Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and allocates resources to sub-recipients to operate emergency shelters and transitional shelters, and provide essential social services for families and individuals.

An Information & Referral Specialist (multi-lingual) will assess your needs then match you with the appropriate resources in Garden Grove.
