Community Services Block Grant
The purpose of the CSBG program is to reduce the incidence and effects of poverty and empower low-income families and individuals to become self-sufficient.
The program operates through neighborhood-based organizations that provide resources and services to produce measurable impacts on the causes and symptoms of poverty experienced by challenged families and communities.
CSBG provides a range of services to assist low-income people in attaining the skills, knowledge, and motivation necessary to achieve self-sufficiency. The program also provides low-income people with immediate life necessities such as emergency food, shelter, transportation, and access to available community resources.
In Sacramento County, programs funded through CSBG strive to eliminate the conditions of poverty affecting the county’s low-income residents. They provide case management, emergency shelter, transportation, emergency food, and counseling services for at-risk youth, frail elderly, disabled persons, low-income families, and the homeless. Only Sacramento County residents that meet federal poverty income guidelines are eligible for CSBG services.
SETA is the designated Community Action Agency for Sacramento County for the provision of Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) services.
CSBG funding originates with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and remains one of the last remaining efforts of the War on Poverty.
