range of direct services designed to assist low-income individuals and families with achieving self-sufficiency.<br></p><p>Congress annually appropriates funds for the Community Services Block Grant program which are administered at the state level by the Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development. Pursuant to the federal CSBG Act (42 U.S.C. 9901 et seq.), Community Action Agencies (also known as CSBG Eligible Entities) receive 90 percent of the funds allocated to Maryland in order to operate programs and services that effectively address the causes and conditions of poverty in the Agency’s service area. These Agencies have been formally designated by local governing bodies to serve as the official anti-poverty agency for that jurisdiction.</p><p>Under the CSBG Act, the state may utilize five percent of the federal allocation as discretionary funding to support activities and programs conducted by Community Action Agencies or other non-profit organizations to eliminate poverty, promote self-sufficiency, and stimulate community revitalization. Additionally, the funds may be used to provide training and technical assistance and to support coordination and communication among Community Action Agencies.</p><p>Community Action Agencies (CAAs) serve every jurisdiction in Maryland and provide a range of services to help families achieve self-sufficiency.

The Plan outlines how the State will administer the Community Services Block Grant (CSBG). The FFY25/FFY26 CSBG State Plan is available below.</p><p><a href="/Communities/Documents/CSBG/FFY25-FFY26-State-Plan.pdf"><img class="ms-asset-icon ms-rtePosition-4" src="/_layouts/images/icpdf.png" alt="" />FFY25/FFY26 CSBG State Plan</a></p> <h2>Eligible Applicants</h2><p>Maryland's seventeen designated Community Action Agencies are eligible to apply for the 90 percent of CSBG funds allocated annually by the federal government. Community Action Agencies must have a board of directors in which one-third are elected public officials currently holding office, or their designees; at least one-third are chosen by a democratic selection method designed to assure that they will represent low-income persons in the community, and the remainder are officials or members of business, industry, labor, religious, welfare, education, or other major groups and interests in the community. Community Action Agencies provide services in all twenty-three Maryland counties and the City of Baltimore.</p><h2>Eligible Activities</h2><p>The services and activities provided by CSBG Eligible Entities serve individuals and households in urban and rural areas throughout the State with incomes at or below 200% of the federal poverty guidelines. In most cases, services are provided through a one-stop service delivery system.</p><h2>Community Services Block Grant - Discretionary</h2><p>Community Action Agencies, non-profit organizations, and units of local government that serve individuals and families at or below 200% of poverty, are eligible to apply for CSBG Discretionary funding. The eligible applicant’s proposed program must display measurable outcomes that help families and individuals move toward self-sufficiency.</p><h2>How to Apply</h2><p>Pursuant to the federal CSBG Act, the Department may utilize five percent of the federal allocation as discretionary funding to support a wide range of activities and programs conducted by Community Action Agencies or other non-profit organizations to eliminate poverty, promote self-sufficiency, and promote community revitalization. Additionally, the funds may be used to provide training and technical assistance and support coordination and communication among Community Action Agencies.</p><p> <strong>The FY25 application round is closed.

Individuals unrelated to CSBG are contacting people via telephone, email, social media, and text message offering CSBG funding or services in exchange for a fee. </p><p> Neither the federal Office of Community Services nor the Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development provides direct CSBG grants to individuals. Additionally, these agencies do not initiate contact with individuals by phone, email, text messages, or social media channels to request personal or financial information. </p><p> If you are made aware of or receive any communication offering a CSBG grant or requesting a fee in exchange for additional funding, please report it to the US Health and Human Services (HHS) Fraud Hotline at 1-800-447-8477 and to the Maryland Office of the Attorney General at 410-528-8662. </p><p> <strong>The Community Services Connection newsletter includes program updates and other useful information for and about our community partners. <a href="https://public.govdelivery.com/accounts/MDDHCD/subscriber/new?qsp=MDDHCD_1">Join our mailing list</a> to receive the newsletter</strong>. </p><h2>More Information</h2><p>Poverty Solutions Team<br>Division of Homeless Solutions<br>Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development<br>7800 Harkins Road<br>Lanham, MD 20706<br>E: <a href="mailto:csbg.dhcd@maryland.gov">csbg.dhcd@maryland.gov</a><br>P: 301-429-7525</p></div> </section> <section class="mdgov-section"> <menu class="ms-hide"> <ie:menuitem id="MSOMenu_Help" iconsrc="/_layouts/15/images/HelpIcon.gif" onmenuclick="MSOWebPartPage_SetNewWindowLocation(MenuWebPart.getAttribute('helpLink'), MenuWebPart.getAttribute('helpMode'))" text="Help" type="option" style="display:none"> </ie:menuitem> </menu> </section> <section class="mdgov-section"> <div id="ctl00_PlaceHolderMain_ctl01_label" style='display:none'>Center_Content</div><div id="ctl00_PlaceHolderMain_ctl01__ControlWrapper_RichHtmlField" class="ms-rtestate-field" style="display:inline" aria-labelledby="ctl00_PlaceHolderMain_ctl01_label"><h2>Notice</h2><p>This website is supported by Grant Number 2401MDCOSR from the Office of Community Services within the Administration for Children and Families, a division of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
