Introduction
The Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) program provides assistance to States and local communities through a network of CSBG eligible entities, the majority of which are Community Action Agencies (CAAs) and other neighborhood-based organizations. CSBG-funded programs focus on reducing poverty, revitalizing low-income communities, and empowering low-income families and individuals to become fully self-sufficient. State and local programs funded by CSBG create, coordinate, and deliver a broad array of programs and services to low-income Americans.
This report is submitted to the Committee on Education and the Workforce of the House of Representatives, and the Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions of the Senate, in accordance with provisions of Public Law 105-285, the Coats Human Services Reauthorization Act of 1998.
The report complies with sections of the Act that require the Secretary to prepare each fiscal year a report on performance and a report on compliance with the goals of the Community Services Block Grant program (CSBG), and to submit those reports together to the committees. This report provides the information requested for fiscal year 2004.
