Dear Colleague,

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Administration for Children and Families (ACF), Office of Community Services (OCS), Division of Community Assistance (DCA) announces the release of more than $91 million of Federal Fiscal Year (FFY) 2024 regular block grant funding to Community Service Block Grant (CSBG) grant recipients. This funding is provided under the Public Law 118-15, Continuing Appropriations Act, 2024 and Other Extensions Act (Continuing Resolution [CR]), which the President signed into law on September 30, 2023.

This release reflects first quarter allocations through November 17, 2023 based on funds available to grant recipients under the CR. The funding will be available to grant recipients in their Payment Management System (PMS) account within 48 hours. Please find the attached table outlining the amounts allocated to all state, tribe, and territory grant recipients. Each grant recipient was required to submit a CSBG State Plan or a CSBG Tribal Plan to be eligible for first quarter funding based on their FFY2023 CSBG allocation amount.

Under this Public Law, CSBG grant recipients and CSBG eligible entities can continue to apply the higher eligibility rate of 200% of the Federal Poverty Level (FPL) for services provided through November 17, 2023. Any extension beyond November 17, 2023 will depend on future action by Congress.
