The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' Administration for Children and Families has awarded a $3,124,219.00 Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) Formula Grant to the Virginia Department of Social Services Division of Finance. This two-year grant, with a period of performance from October 1, 2024 to September 30, 2026, will support the Division's administration of a wide range of social services and public assistance programs throughout the Commonwealth of Virginia.
The CSBG program aims to reduce poverty, revitalize low-income communities, and empower individuals and families to become self-sufficient. Under this grant, the Division of Finance will deliver an array of services, including cash assistance, food benefits, employment and training programs, child care subsidies, energy assistance, and support for individuals with developmental disabilities. The Division frequently partners with local government agencies, community organizations, and educational institutions to implement these programs at the community level, allocating portions of the federal funding through sub-awards.
