CSBG supports a broad range of locally determined services, including employment services, income support/management, and housing assistance. CSBG funding also enables local community organizations to develop long range solutions to revitalize low-income communities, reduce poverty, and develop public/ private partnerships.

The goal of CGTCAP is to maximize the impact of CSBG funding throughout the Colusa, Glenn, and Trinity County regions by supporting anti-poverty programs and services through its network of community partners, which lift low-income families out of a life of poverty and put them on to the path of self-sufficiency.

Proposed programs and services must promote self-sufficiency and/or improve the conditions of residents living at or below 100% of the HHS federal poverty guidelines in any of the following areas: Entrepreneurship/Job Training, Employment Placement, Education or Skill Development, Housing Stability, and/or Low-Income Housing.

The services are expected to be performed by the selected service providers during the period of January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2023.
