Opportunity Summary:
The Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) Training and Technical Assistance Program: Special State Technical Assistance opportunity is a discretionary federal grant run by the Office of Community Services (OCS) within the Administration for Children and Families (ACF), part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). The program authority comes from the CSBG Act, specifically Sections 674(b)(2)(B) and 678A through 678C (42 USC 9901). Its core purpose is narrowly focused: to fund targeted, rapid, and practical technical assistance designed to help stabilize or resolve serious problems when a CSBG-eligible entity is experiencing a crisis situation. In other words, the funding is meant to support interventions that help a local CSBG eligible organization get back on track when operations, governance, compliance, or performance issues put the organization at risk.
Funding under this announcement is limited and competitive. HHS expected to make up to three awards, with an estimated total funding level of $150,000. Each award is set at a fixed amount, with both the award floor and award ceiling listed as $50,000, meaning each selected applicant would receive $50,000. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants are not required to provide non-federal funds to receive the award. The funding instrument is a grant, and the activity category is Income Security and Social Services. The CFDA (Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance) number associated with the program is 93.570 (Community Services Block Grant).
The intended recipients are organizations that can credibly deliver high-quality training and technical assistance in the CSBG network, particularly in high-stakes situations where an eligible entity is in distress. Eligible applicants include statewide or local organizations or associations that can demonstrate expertise in training individuals and organizations on effective methods for addressing the needs of low-income families and communities. The eligibility language also references entities officially designated as CSBG eligible entities under section 673(1) of the CSBG Act, as amended, and meeting requirements under section 673(1)(A) and section 676A. The announcement explicitly states that faith-based and community organizations are eligible to apply. Both nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status and certain nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status may apply (as reflected in the eligibility categories), and there is an “Others†category with additional clarification referenced in the full announcement. Foreign entities are not eligible under this opportunity.
Operationally, the grant solicitation was posted on May 7, 2008, and the application deadline was June 20, 2008. For applications submitted through Grants.gov, the notice highlights a strict submission cutoff of no later than 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. The opportunity was later archived on July 20, 2008, indicating it is no longer open, but the details remain useful for understanding how OCS structured this kind of crisis-response technical assistance funding within the CSBG system.
For full details, applicants were directed to the official announcement link hosted by ACF. The listed point of contact for access issues or questions was Yolanda J. Butler, Ph.D., reachable via OCS@lcgnet.com.
