The Community Services Block Grant is a stream of federal funding that works to eliminate the causes and conditions of poverty in communities. CSBG is the main infrastructure grant for community action agencies. This funding allows agencies to focus efforts on low-income individuals/families, the community, organizational change, and leverage resources from federal, state, local, and private entities to further anti-poverty work in communities.
