Community Services Block Grant
The purpose of the Community Services Block Grant programs is to assist communities in reducing poverty, revitalizing low-income communities and empowering low-income families to become self-sufficient. CSBG also brings community awareness to the struggles that low-income families face each day through poverty simulations for area organizations. Help includes low-income heating and energy assistance, emergency food and shelter, CHOICES (helps clients become more self-sufficient by obtaining job skills, financial literacy education and through other community resources), educational scholarships, and food pantries. This project is funded, in part, under a contract with the Cabinet for Health and Family Services with funds from the Community Services Block Grant Act of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
