The Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families distributed the ARRA Community Services Block Grant program (CFDA 93.710) with the most recent grant award issued on September 30, 2010. This program is no longer active and should not be pursued. The portfolio contains 166 total awards spanning 2008 to 2010, with funding declining sharply over that period: 104 awards in 2008, 46 in 2009, and 16 in 2010. No grant opportunities have been posted recently.
The program funded services and activities delivered through community action agencies and neighborhood-based organizations to reduce poverty, revitalize low-income communities, and support low-income families and individuals toward self-sufficiency. Funded activities included employment assistance, educational support, housing stability, emergency assistance through loans or grants, and coordination of linkages between governmental and social services programs. The program was structured to address acute poverty problems in specific communities and assist low-income participants, including the elderly poor, in securing meaningful employment, adequate education, adequate housing, and emergency assistance for health services, food, and employment-related needs.
The portfolio was composed predominantly of Block Grants at 62 percent of awards (103 awards), with Formula Grants at 21 percent (35 awards) and Cooperative Agreements at 17 percent (28 awards). The Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families was the sole funding agency, obligating $973.9 million in combined federal dollars across all 166 awards.

Objective and description
- Objective
This funding will provide economic stimulus to the nation while furthering the ACF mission to promote the economic and social well-being of children, youth, families and communities. Objectives are to provide assistance to States and local communities, working through a network of community action agencies and other neighborhood-based organizations, for the reduction of poverty, revitalization of low-income communities, and empowerment of low-income families and individuals in rural and urban areas to become fully self-sufficient (particularly families who are attempting to transition off a State program carried out under part A of Title IV of the Social Security Act). Additional objectives are (1) to provide services and activities having a measurable and potential major impact on causes of poverty in the community or those areas of the community where poverty is a particularly acute problem; (2) to provide activities designed to assist low-income participants, including the elderly poor, to: (a) secure and retain meaningful employment; (b) attain an adequate education; (c) make better use of available income; (d) obtain and maintain adequate housing and a suitable living environment; (e) obtain emergency assistance through loans or grants to meet immediate and urgent individual and family needs, including health services, nutritious food, housing, and employment-related assistance; (f) remove obstacles and solve problems which block the achievement of self-sufficiency; (g) achieve greater participation in the affairs of the community; and (h) make more effective use of other related programs; (3) to provide on an emergency basis for the provision of such supplies and services, nutritious food, and related services, as may be necessary to counteract conditions of starvation and malnutrition among the poor; and (4) to coordinate and establish linkages between governmental and other social services programs to assure the effective delivery of such services to low-income individuals.
