- <p>The Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) Essentials for Improved Outcomes will fund an organization to help states, territories, and CSBG-eligible entities: 1) strengthen their understanding of CSBG statutory and regulatory requirements; 2)<strong> </strong>enhance their implementation of critical program elements (e.g., community needs assessment, tripartite board, monitoring and reporting compliance etc.); and 3) support the coordination and development of additional anti-poverty resources that support the overall administration of CSBG. Strengthening capacity to navigate complex systems is critical to successful administration. By fostering collaboration and service models for navigating systems like foster care, behavioral health, housing and other public assistances, award recipients can better ensure children and families receive specialized support for building stable, permanent environments where families and communities thrive</p>
