The Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) is a formula grant that provides funds to States, Territories, and Federally- and State-recognized Indian tribes/tribal organizations so that they may provide supportive services and activities to assist lowincome individuals and families to become self-sufficient. Typically, States fund these services by making sub-grants to locally based Community Action Agencies and other eligible entities that provide services to low-income individuals and families.

Services typically assist with childcare, employment, education, emergency services, healthcare, housing, nutrition, transportation, youth development, and coordination of resources and community participation.

As part of the President’s Drug Treatment Initiative, the Substance Abuse Treatment and Prevention Block Grant program is the cornerstone of States’ substance abuse programs. The Center for Substance Abuse Treatment provides leadership in bringing together State Authorities who are the recipients of the Substance Abuse Prevention and Treatment Block Grant, and the treatment community. More information on how these resources can be applied for by, and granted to, communitybased organizations are available by contacting your State’s Single State Authority for Substance Abuse.

The Compassion Capital Fund (CCF) Demonstration program helps faith-based and community groups build capacity and
improve their ability to provide social services to those in need. CCF funding has been awarded to more than 55
intermediary organizations to help smaller organizations manage their programs effectively, train staff, expand programs in
their communities, and replicate promising programs. Intermediary organizations receiving CCF grants also provide subawards
to a diverse range of faith-based and community organizations.
Technical assistance activities funded under CCF are conducted at no cost to interested faith-based and community
organizations and focus on capacity-building in the following areas: leadership development, organizational development,
revenue development strategies, program development, and community engagement.
Eligible applicants include non-governmental organizations, Indian tribal governmental organizations, nonprofit agencies,
including faith-based organizations, public agencies, State and local governments, colleges and universities, and for-profit
entities. To be eligible for a CCF grant, an intermediary organization should have established relationships with grassroots
faith-based and community organizations, as well as a proven track record in providing technical assistance to such
groups.

Access to Recovery (ATR) is part of a Presidential initiative to provide client choice among substance abuse clinical
treatment and recovery support service providers, expand access to a comprehensive array of clinical treatment and
recovery support options (including faith-based programmatic options), and increase substance abuse treatment capacity.
The 2007 Budget includes a new target area for ATR, helping individuals recover from methamphetamine abuse.
Methamphetamine addiction is a growing problem in the United States that inflicts serious harm on individuals, families,
and communities.

Eligibility for Access to Recovery grants is limited to the immediate office of the Chief Executive (e.g., Governor) in the
States, Territories, District of Columbia; or the head of an Indian tribal organization.
