Abstract: The Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) Model Plan Application is used as the plan submitted to ACF by States, Territories, Tribes and Tribal Organizations for the receipt of Federal funds to administer a CSBG program. The information collected is required by the CSBG Statute for the receipt of CSBG program funds. The Office of Community Services (OCS) recently received CARES Act supplemental money through the CSBG program. CSBG grantees will need to submit a state plan application to apply for supplemental funding. The supplemental state plan application is based on the approved standard CSBG State Plan application. The main difference is that the application for the supplemental has fewer questions/less information.
