About the Program
Need housing assistance? While ADFA administers housing programs, we do not work directly with the public to provide individual assistance. However, we want to ensure you are connected with organizations that do work directly with individuals and families in need.

Compliance with regulatory and programmatic requirements of the ESG sub-grant may be determined through remote and/or on-site monitoring and risk assessments by ADFA. Monitoring will be conducted annually at a minimum but may be conducted more frequently at the discretion of ADFA.
Monitoring will generally be conducted after advance notice and at a date and time convenient to both ADFA and subrecipients but may be conducted without notice and at any normal hour of business operation at the discretion of ADFA.
