County Of Sangamon

The County of Sangamon, doing business as the Department of Community Resources, is a local government entity registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) since 2009, with its registration set to expire in March 2026. Located in Springfield, Illinois, this U.S. county government entity focuses on providing critical community support services through various federal grant programs. While specific details about the department's internal structure are not provided, its primary mission appears to be delivering essential social and community development services to low-income residents and vulnerable populations within Sangamon County.

The department has consistently received federal grant awards, primarily from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), through programs such as the Continuum of Care (CoC), Weatherization Assistance, Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP), Community Service Block Grant (CSBG), and the Low-Income Household Water Assistance Program (LIHWAP). These grants enable the department to provide a wide range of critical services, including homeless prevention and housing support, energy efficiency improvements for low-income families, employment training, education support, income and asset building, health and social development assistance, and emergency relief. The department works closely with the Illinois Department of Commerce & Economic Opportunity as a primary sub-grant recipient, implementing these federally funded programs to support vulnerable populations, address energy poverty, prevent homelessness, and promote self-sufficiency among local residents.
