The Community Services Block Grant provides assistance to states and local communities through a network of community action agencies and neighborhood-based organizations to reduce poverty, revitalize low-income communities, and empower low-income families and individuals to achieve self-sufficiency. Eligible activities include services designed to help low-income participants secure and retain meaningful employment, attain adequate education, obtain and maintain housing and suitable living environments, access emergency assistance through loans or grants, remove obstacles to self-sufficiency, and achieve greater participation in community affairs.
The Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa Indians, a federally recognized tribe headquartered in Belcourt, North Dakota, receives the award as a direct recipient. This formula grant is allocated on a quarterly basis beginning October 1 through September 30 annually without a formal renewal process, contingent upon compliance with approved state plans and statutory guidelines. Work is performed in North Dakota.
