Community Services Block Grant (CSBG)

In accordance with federal and state legislation, the overall mission of the Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) program is to:

Reduce poverty, revitalize low-income communities and help low-income families and individuals in rural and urban areas become fully self-sufficient.

Help communities plan and coordinate the use of a broad range of federal, state, local and private assistance to combat poverty.

Provide a range of services and activities that address the causes of poverty and promote self-sufficiency.

Implement innovative and effective community-based approaches to address the causes and effects of poverty.

Promote maximum participation among residents of low-income communities.

As the Community Action Agency for New York City, DYCD receives federal CSBG funds through the New York State Department of State, Division of Community Services.
