Community Services Block Grant (CSBG)

The CSBG program is a federal anti-poverty program administered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. CSBG funds provide assistance to local communities via community action agencies and other neighborhood organizations. These agencies use CSBG funds to:
  • Reduce poverty
  • Revitalization low-income communities
  • Empower low-income families and individuals to become fully self-sufficient.
The CSBG program provides funding for the administrative and program activities of Community Action Agencies (CAAs). These organizations typically coordinate and administer various services designed to assist low-income residents of Oregon within their communities. CSBG funds are accessible in both rural and urban areas across the state.
