The Department of Social Services of Missouri, operating as Finance and Administrative Services, has been awarded a $5,399,931 Formula Grant under the Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) program (CFDA 93.569) administered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. This two-year grant, with a performance period of October 1, 2024, to September 30, 2026, will support the department's wide-ranging social welfare and public assistance initiatives across Missouri. The CSBG program provides funding to state and local agencies to reduce poverty, revitalize low-income communities, and help individuals and families become self-sufficient through a variety of social services and economic support programs. As the primary recipient, the Missouri Department of Social Services will leverage this federal grant to deliver critical services such as employment and job training, early childhood education, affordable housing, homelessness prevention, utility assistance, and healthcare access to vulnerable populations throughout the state. The department frequently partners with local governments, non-profit organizations, and community action agencies as sub-recipients to implement these community-level programs and initiatives.
