Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) Tribal Capacity Building Training and Technical Assistance (TCBTTA)

The Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) Tribal Capacity Building Training and Technical Assistance project aims to strengthen the ability of tribal nations and tribal organizations to effectively administer CSBG funds by providing targeted training and technical support. This initiative addresses a longstanding gap in federal support by offering culturally relevant guidance on CSBG compliance, financial management, internal controls, budgeting, reporting, and data-driven program improvement. Recipients will receive assistance in conducting community needs assessments, developing CSBG plans that reflect tribal priorities, designing services that honor tribal sovereignty, and completing the CSBG Tribal Annual Report, all while enhancing their capacity to advance housing and economic stability goals aligned with the A Home for Every Child administrative priority. The selected organization will facilitate knowledge sharing among tribal grantees, creating networks to exchange best practices, troubleshoot challenges, and improve implementation of CSBG-funded programs. Technical assistance will span oversight, compliance with federal grant standards, and the strategic use of data to enhance outcomes. Support will be delivered in a manner that respects tribal sovereignty and promotes self-determination, ensuring that training is responsive to the unique needs of each community. The solicitation is managed by the Administration for Children and Families under the Department of Health and Human Services, with a response deadline of August 24, 2026, and inquiries directed to Cheryl Zuni at the provided contact information.
