The Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) funds the anti-poverty Community Action Agencies and family self-sufficiency efforts of a nationwide network of 1,100 community agencies. These organizations create, coordinate, and deliver comprehensive programs and services to many people living in poverty in the United States.

Administered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, CSGB funds are distributed to states who must allocate at least 90 percent of those funds to local "eligible entities," usually Community Action Agencies (CAAs).
