Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) Annual Report

The Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) Act (42 U.S.C. § 9901, et seq.) was established under the Community Opportunities, Accountability, and Training and Educational Services Act of 1998, Public Law 105-285. The Office of Community Services (OCS), Administration for Children and Families (ACF), U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) administers CSBG at the federal level. CSBG provides funds to states and other entities to support services and activities that alleviate the causes and conditions of poverty in communities. Section 678E of the CSBG Act requires states, including the District of Columbia and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, and U.S. territories, to annually prepare and submit a report on the measured performance of the state and the eligible entities in the state. Prior to the participation of the state in the performance measurement system, the state shall include in the report any information collected by the state relating to such performance. Each state shall also include in the report an accounting of the expenditure of funds received by the state through the CSBG program, including an accounting of funds spent on administrative costs by the state and the eligible entities, and funds spent by the eligible entities on the direct delivery of local services, and shall include information on the number of and characteristics of clients served under the subtitle in the state, based on data collected from the eligible entities. The state shall also include in the report a summary describing the training and technical assistance offered by the state. Section 3(b) of the Government Performance and Results (GPRA) Modernization Act of 2010 (GPRAMA) requires OCS, as an office under the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, to collect performance information for the CSBG. The CSBG Annual Report was most recently revised and approved in December 2024. Two versions were approved, a 2.1 version that is currently in use and a 3.0 version which will be put into use in the future. Changes in technology resulted in grant recipients having trouble when trying to submit Module 3 of the CSBG Annual Report 2.1. This is specifically due to Microsoft phasing out ActiveX. To avoid similar issues for the next FY submission, OCS worked with a developer to update Module 3 with ActiveX removed. The content has not changed, but the design is different.
