Low-income families would get more support for economic security and digital access through local community groups.
This bill would renew and update a key program that helps local community groups fight poverty. It would set aside $1 billion each year for seven years to fund these efforts and expand who qualifies for help. The bill would also add new requirements for how states and local groups manage and report on these funds, including a new focus on helping families get affordable internet and digital skills.
Today, the Community Services Block Grant program helps local groups fight poverty with federal funds. After this bill, the program would be renewed with specific funding levels for seven years, and more low-income families would qualify for help. There would be a new focus on digital access, and states and local community groups would have new, stricter rules for how they manage funds, report on their activities, and ensure board transparency.
