The Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) is an anti-poverty block grant that provides core funding to over 1,000 Eligible Entities across the United States. The program aims to reduce poverty, promote self-sufficiency, and revitalize low-income communities. CSBG funding supports projects that lessen or eliminate poverty, address the needs of low-income individuals, and provide services related to employment, education, housing, nutrition, and health. The CSBG is federally funded and administered by the Arkansas Department of Human Services (DHS), distributing funds to a network of local organizations known as Community Action Agencies. In Arkansas, there are 15 Community Action Agencies that assist low to moderate-income individuals across all 75 counties.
