Community Services Programs

 The Community Services Block Grant (CSBG), administered by the states, provides core funding to local agencies to reduce poverty, revitalize low income communities, and to empower

low-income families to become selfsufficient.  Services include case management, employment, education, consumer planning, housing, emergency assistance, self-sufficiency and participation in community affairs.

 The Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) helps keep families safe and healthy through initiatives that assist families with energy costs. We provide federally funded assistance in managing costs associated with:

• Home energy bills
• Energy crises
• Weatherization and energy relatedminor home repairs

LIHEAP can help you stay warm in the winter and cool in the summer through programs that reduce the risk of health and safety problems that arise from unsafe heating and cooling practices.

Low Income Household Water Assistance Program (LIHWAP)  provides funds to assist low-income households with water and wastewater bills.
