    Summary

    The purpose of the Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) funds is to allow States to provide a wide range of services to help ameliorate the causes and conditions of poverty. CSBG funding supports projects that lessen poverty in communities, and address the needs of low-income individuals including the homeless and elderly. It also provides services and activities addressing employment, education, housing, nutrition, emergency services and health.

    The program is governed under six broad anti-poverty goals:
    • Goal 1: Low-income people become more self-sufficient.
    • Goal 2: The conditions in which low-income people lives are improved.
    • Goal 3: Low-income people own a stake in their community. 
    • Goal 4: Partnerships among supporters and providers of services to low- income people are achieved. 
    • Goal 5: Agencies increase their capacity to achieve results.
    • Goal 6: Low-income people, especially vulnerable populations, achieve their potential by strengthening family and other supportive systems.
     

    History of Funding
