Dear Colleague Notice on LIHEAP 40th Anniversary.

LIHWAP DCL-2021-13 CSBG Coordination FY2021

Model Plan Application for LIHEAP Funding for Federal Fiscal Year (FY) 2022 (Application deadline Wednesday, September 1, 2021)

The Office of Community Services (OCS), Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) is informing CSBG State Administrators regarding a temporary adjustment of CSBG Program Specialist regional assignments. The temporary assignments will be through the end of Fiscal Year (FY) September 30, 2021. In addition, OCS wants to remind State Administrators of the CSBG Quarterly Calls schedule during July 2021.

Since the release of CSBG-DCL-2021-28, several CSBG grantees have contacted OCS to express concern that they will not be able to fully obligate state controlled administrative or discretionary funds before the end of this fiscal year. We know how important it is for grantees to be able to utilize administrative funds for staffing, oversight and monitoring, training and technical assistance, and special initiatives and programs, among other activities and needs. Given this, OCS is exploring all available strategies to allow states additional time to fully obligate these funds.

To inform Tribes and Tribal Organizations of the CSBG application requirements for FY2022.
