Work Plan Template
This Work Plan template developed by the Office of Community Services (OCS), is an essential tool for ensuring enhanced oversight of Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) cooperative agreements and promoting successful project implementation. This Work Plan is required for all CSBG cooperative agreements and serves as a blueprint for organizing, monitoring, and evaluating project progress and achievement of the goals and objectives as outlined in the Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO), specifically Section I, Program Description.
The Work Plan is intended to be a living document; award recipients have the flexibility to make amendments and adjustments as needed throughout the project period, with the approval of and/or as recommended by the OCS Project Officer. This document should serve as a dynamic guide, assisting you in planning, identifying deliverables, and exploring potential collaboration opportunities. By utilizing this template effectively, you can establish clear benchmarks, track progress, and ensure satisfactory advancement towards completing the activities outlined in this Work Plan.
The OCS Project Officer for each cooperative agreement will schedule recurring 1:1 Performance Oversight meetings to discuss progress on the work outlined in this Work Plan. These conversations will offer an opportunity to address any challenges, provide guidance, and foster an open line of communication between OCS and your team.
Thank you for your dedication to our shared mission of reducing poverty, revitalizing communities, and empowering individuals and families with low income. Together, we can make a lasting impact.
Each section of the CSBG Work Plan should be completed according to the following instructions (an example of a completed goal can be found in Appendix A). Where applicable, the award recipient may opt to include activities outlined in the submitted award application (e.g., submitted Logic Model).

Service Delivery Models, Strategies, and Partnerships |
Over the 36-month project period, our region will actively collaborate with CSBG eligible entities to identify key activities to improve and/or develop protocols for service delivery models, strategies, and partnerships to better serve individuals and families with low incomes, particulary those who have been traditionally marginalized. We will actively engage the target population through the Community Needs Assessment process. Through this inclusive process, we aim to deliver high-quality services and collectively foster community conditions that promote self-sufficiency and advance equality. By the end of the project, we expect to have established a minimum of five successful service delivery models, strategies, and partnerships that measurably improve outcomes and quality of services fo the target population. This objective is achievable given our current resources and constraints and it aligns with the goals and objectives. |
