Community Services Block Grant Program
(CSBG)

 CSBG Programs

• Program Overview

• 
  The federal Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1981 created the Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) Program. It provides a range of services designed to assist low-income people to attain the skills, knowledge, and motivation necessary to achieve self-sufficiency.
  The federal grant program permits a wide range of local program activities to assist low-income participants in employment, education, better use of available income, housing, emergency assistance, nutrition, community involvement, and referral and income management.
  The goal of the Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) program is to reduce and/or prevent poverty through community-based educational activities, which lead to a greater degree of self-sufficiency on the part of low-income persons.
  CSBG programs are provided through the state’s Office of Economic Opportunity. State The Office of Economic Opportunity has used these funds over the past several years to “Promote maximum participation by poor people in the elimination and causes and conditions of poverty.” Funds have been used for the following programs:
  • Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP)
  • General Emergency Assistance Program (GEAP)
  • Case Management

• • Youth Leadership Program (YLP)
