Many low-income individuals and families who are eligible for AFI-funded IDA projects are also eligible to receive benefits from Federal refundable tax credits. These include the Federal Earned Income Tax Credit, Child Tax Credit, American Opportunity Credit, and the Making Work Pay Credit.

The Office of Community Services provides reports to Congress on the status of AFI Program implementation. The reports are based largely on data submitted annually by each grantee, as required by the program authorizing legislation.

During January 2013 the Urban Institute posted a commentary on the Spotlight on Poverty webpage discussing some of the outcome of the Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) funds of 2009.

This resource provides information to States regarding the distribution of Hurricane Sandy SSBG Supplemental Funds and provides guidance on allowable activities, reporting requirements, filing a Notice of Federal Interest, obligating and expending funds, and grantee monitoring.

The purpose of this message is to provide SSBG Hurricane Sandy Supplemental Progress Report Template.

Each State is responsible for designing and implementing its own SSBG program, within very broad Federal guidelines.  States must administer their SSBG program according to their approved plan, along with amendments, and in conformance with their own implementing rules and policies. Each year States are required to submit a pre-expenditure report or intended use plan as a prerequisite to receiving SSBG funds. This report helps to clarify the planned and actual use of SSBG funds for the provision of services in each State. The Office of Community Services (OCS) analyzes SSBG expenditure and recipient data reported through the pre-expenditure reporting in order to develop the SSBG Annual Report. This information also assists OCS in developing performance measures for the SSBG program.
