Community Services Block Grant Program Advisory Committee

The Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) is a federal funding allocation from the United States Department of Health and Human Services, Office of Community Services. These funds are administered by the State of Colorado Department of Local Affairs (DOLA) and are distributed to local CSBG entities including the City and County of Denver. CSBG funding supports projects that reduce poverty, revitalize low-income communities, and empower people with low incomes.
