CSBG INFORMATION MEMORANDA

The Office of Community Services, Division of State Assistance, publishes Information Memoranda (IM) for distribution to CSBG program administrators. An Information Memoranda (IM) provides guidance to assist in implementing the CSBG legislation, program instruction and policy clarification, in addition to disseminating information and program practices to stakeholders.

The IM numbering system is chronological. The higher number reflects the most recently release IM. Only relevant IM’s are posted on this web site, therefore the IM’s posted may not be in sequential as out dated IM’s have been removed.
