The CSBG program funds the reduction of poverty, revitalization of low-income communities, and empowerment of low-income families and individuals to achieve self-sufficiency through a network of community action agencies and neighborhood-based organizations. The program supports services and activities designed to assist low-income participants in securing and retaining meaningful employment, attaining adequate education, obtaining and maintaining adequate housing, receiving emergency assistance, removing obstacles to self-sufficiency, increasing community participation, and accessing coordinated social services.
