Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) Program
The Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) Program, established by the federal Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1981, is a vital initiative that helps low-income households gain the skills, knowledge, and motivation needed to achieve self-sufficiency. By addressing the root causes of poverty, the program empowers individuals and families to improve their quality of life and build a sustainable future.
What CSBG Offers
The CSBG program supports a variety of local activities and services to assist individuals in:
Education: Accessing resources to enhance skills and knowledge.
Emergency Services: Meeting immediate needs during times of crisis.
Community Involvement: Encouraging active participation in local initiatives.
Referral Services: Connecting participants to essential community resources.
Income Management: Providing tools and strategies for financial stability.
The overarching goal of the CSBG program is to reduce and prevent poverty by fostering community-based educational activities that lead to lasting self-sufficiency.
