Middle Kentucky’s Community Service Block Grant Program (CSBG), collaborating with other Middle Kentucky programs and community partnerships, continues to provide access to every basic need for eligible clients including job training, food, shelter, clothing, heating/cooling assistance, education assistance, Head Start services and a host of other services.
The Community Service Block Grant (CSBG) is a federal, anti-poverty block grant which funds the operation of a state-administered network of local agencies. Middle Kentucky provides services through a Community Service Block Grant (CSBG) funding to children, adults, elderly and all persons with disabilities whose incomes are typically at or below 150% of the current Federal Poverty Income Guidelines. For the 2023 fiscal year the poverty level is at 200% of poverty. CSBG provides funds for direct services and programs that indirectly and directly address the needs of low-income, elderly, disabled and disadvantaged that are not being met by other programs. CSBG goals and objectives are developed by direct input from the low-income population.
