Description
The Community Services Block Grant (CSBG), administered in Kansas by Kansas Housing Resources Corporation (KHRC), funds Community Action Agencies and other neighborhood-based organizations. It supports services and activities for individuals and families with low incomes, with the goal of alleviating the causes and conditions of poverty in Kansas communities.
The program serves Kansans through a collaborative partnership with eight local eligible entities funded by KHRC. Federal funding comes from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Office of Community Services. KHRC administers the funding rather than providing housing or services directly, placing local organizations at the center of service delivery.
