Where does program funding come from?

The Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) is a federal block grant administered through the Department of Health and Human Services and the Office of Community and Social Services (OCS).  The CSBG program is a federally-funded grant program created by the Omnibus Reconciliation Act of 1981.  In 1998, the Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) was reauthorized through the Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) Act.  Periodically a continuing resolution has to be passed in order to sustain the program.
