This book was released on 2017-09-13 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) provided over $600 million to states in fiscal year 2005 to support over 1,000 local antipoverty agencies. The Department of Health and Human Services's (HHS) Office of Community Services (OCS) is primarily responsible for overseeing this grant; states have oversight responsibility for local agencies. At the request of Congress, GAO is providing information on (1) HHS's compliance with federal laws and standards in overseeing states, (2) five states' efforts to monitor local agencies, and (3) federal CSBG training and technical assistance funds targeted to local agencies with problems and the results of the assistance. States were selected based on varying numbers of local agencies and grant amounts and recommendations from associations, among other criteria.

Book excerpt: Focuses on the new Community Services Block Grant program-which was administered under a centralized categorical format by the U.S. Office of Economic Opportunity from 1964 to 1973 and the U.S. Community Services Administration from 1974 to 1980. The actual impact of this switch from a centralized to a more decentralized federal funding system is analyzed by comparing fiscal, written rulemaking, and informal behind-the-scenes federal administrative and political actions under the old categorical format. These trends are then incorporated into an updated administrative and political overview of the 1960s war on poverty effort, to provide a clearer picture on how the U.S. government's war on poverty was faring in the 1980s.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Community Services Block Grants (CSBG) provide federal funds to states, territories, and tribes for distribution to local agencies to support a wide range of community-based activities to reduce poverty. Smaller related programs—Community Economic Development (CED), Rural Community Facilities (RCF), and Individual Development Accounts (IDAs)—also support anti-poverty efforts. CSBG and some of these related activities trace their roots to the War on Poverty, launched more than 50 years ago in 1964. Today, they are administered at the federal level by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). CSBG and related activities are funded through the end of FY2015 under an omnibus appropriations law (P.L. 113-235), enacted just prior to the end of the 113th Congress. The measure provides $729 million for CSBG and related activities, almost identical to FY2014 levels (P.L. 113-76) and nearly twice the amount requested by the Obama Administration. Final FY2014 funding was an increase from the post-sequestration level of $687 million provided in FY2013 under P.L. 113-6. Final FY2015 funding levels, by program, are $674 million for the block grant, $30 million for CED, $6.5 million for RCF, and $19 million for IDAs. In his FY2015 budget, submitted to Congress in March 2014, President Obama requested $350 million for the block grant, $19 million for IDAs, and zero for the other related activities. The Administration made the same request for the block grant in each of the last three years, and Congress rejected the proposal each time. Although the Administration requested no funding for the CED program, it proposed to continue funding the Healthy Food Financing Initiative (which has been partially financed with CED funds) through a Treasury Department program. The White House previously proposed eliminating CED and RCF, but Congress has continued to provide funding for both activities. In previous budgets, the Administration has signaled its intent to move CSBG toward a competitive program, in which states would direct funds toward local agencies that meet certain standards, rather than via the current mandatory pass-through to all local “eligible entities.” In its FY2015 budget request, the Administration also proposed to allow states to reserve up to 10% of their allotments for eligible entities that demonstrate “innovation and best practices.” The Community Services Block Grant Act was last reauthorized in 1998 by P.L. 105-285. The authorization of appropriations for CSBG and most related programs expired in FY2003, although Congress has continued funding through annual appropriations. Legislation was introduced during the 113th Congress—with bipartisan co-sponsorship—to amend and reauthorize the act through FY2023 (H.R. 3854). Among other things, the proposal would have required performance measures at the federal, state, and local level; would have required each state to use part of its block grant for a Community Action Innovations Program; and would have allowed two or more local agencies to merge, subject to state approval, and potentially be eligible for Merger Incentive Funds. The National Association for State Community Services Programs conducts an annual survey of states on the activities and expenditures of the nationwide network of more than 1,000 CSBG grantees. According to the most recent survey, the network served almost 16 million people in nearly 7 million low-income families in FY2013. States reported that the network spent $13.3 billion of federal, state, local, and private resources, including almost $600 million in federal CSBG funds and almost $9 billion from other federal programs.
