SSBG Grantees

Who can apply
Social Services Block Grant (SSBG) funds are awarded directly to States. Awards are not made directly to individuals or social service organizations. States are fully responsible, within the limitations of the law, for determining the use of their funds. Each State has the flexibility to determine what services will be provided, who is eligible to receive services, and how funds are distributed among various services within the State. States and/or local agencies (i.e., county, city, and regional offices) may provide services directly or purchase them from qualified service providers. If you are a service provider looking for more information about SSBG funding or licensing, please contact the State social or human service agency that oversees the service. Refer to the contact information for your State below.

Are you seeking SSBG Services? 
The Federal government provides States with resources to assist individuals and families in need. The human and social service departments in each State oversee the provision of SSBG funded services. For more information about services and eligibility, contact your local social service office.
