The purpose of this message is to notify tribes and tribal organizations of an extension in the due date for submission of the Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) Annual Report. The new deadline for submitting the annual report is March 1, 2021.

Over the next few weeks, the Office of Community Services (OCS) will release several communications in order to guide and prepare the CSBG state lead agencies and the CSBG Network as a whole.

The purpose of this letter is to give you an update on the new State and Federal accountability measures for the Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) Network.  These proposed measures are intended to ensure that both State and Federal administrators of CSBG are accountable to high standards of performance management.   It is our expectation that these State and Federal accountability measures will be implemented alongside the new organizational standards for Community Action Agencies.  In addition, as new Results Oriented Management and Accountability (ROMA) next generation tools and protocols are completed in the next several months, the new State and Federal accountability measures we are proposing will help assure accountability and high quality at all levels.
