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.
