The Emergency Food and Shelter National Board Program provides emergency funding to local social service organizations to assist with their established efforts to provide food and shelter services to people who are hungry or homeless, or who are at risk of being such.
The assistance it provides

is in the form of groceries, served meals, nights of lodging, rent/mortgage assistance, and utility assistance.
Although the services rendered are for services as they relate to families and individuals with emergency economic needs, program funds are not intended to be used in the immediate aftermath of a natural or man-made disaster.
