This forecasted funding opportunity will support a single organization to provide training, technical assistance, and capacity-building services to states, territories, and CSBG-eligible entities. The goal is to improve understanding and implementation of the Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) statutory and regulatory requirements, enhance execution of essential program elements (such as community needs assessment, board governance, and compliance), and coordinate resources to strengthen anti-poverty efforts. The funded entity will help grantees navigate complex systems—including foster care, behavioral health, housing, and public assistance—to ensure children and families receive specialized support for building stable, thriving communities.
