RALEIGH — The North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services is seeking public comment on the revision of the proposed 2025–2027 North Carolina Community Services Block Grant State Plan, which outlines how the state will facilitate the CSBG Program over the next two years.
The CSBG Block Grant is the sole source of federal funding for Community Action Agencies that provide a wide range of services and programs to decrease poverty in communities around the state. CSBG funding supports projects that address the needs of low-income individuals and families and provide services and activities addressing employment, education, better use of available income, housing, nutrition, emergency services and/or health.
The CSBG State Plan is required for North Carolina to receive CSBG block grant funds, and it describes major program provisions, eligible entities, training and technical assistance, and program benefits. NCDHHS will submit the CSBG State Plan to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Office of Community Services. This draft plan covers the Federal Fiscal Years 2025-2027 and must be submitted by Sept. 1, 2025.
