Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) Performance Management, Data Collection, and Compliance Support

The Office of Community Services (OCS), part of the Administration for Children and Families (ACF), plans to release a funding opportunity for a cooperative agreement aimed at enhancing performance management, data collection, and compliance support under the Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) program. This opportunity will competitively select one organization to assist CSBG states, territories, and eligible entities in managing performance activities, improving data quality, reporting, and addressing compliance issues identified during monitoring visits. The cooperative agreement focuses on strengthening the existing national framework for CSBG by supporting outcome measurement and ensuring accuracy in the annual Report to Congress. Building on a prior initiative, the agreement emphasizes practical capacity building through training and technical assistance that enables the CSBG network to convert data into actionable insights. This approach aims to enhance program impacts, outcomes, and accountability by providing states and territories with the resources needed to effectively manage and utilize performance data. The solicitation was posted in April 2026 by the Department of Health and Human Services and is designed to ensure continuous improvement in CSBG program delivery and compliance efforts nationwide.
