 The Hawaii Office of Community Services (OCS), Hawaii State Department of Labor and Industrial Relations, has prepared for public review and comment its State Plan for the Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) Program to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) for Federal Fiscal Years 2018 and 2019 (FFY 18 and 19). The CSBG program provides services to low-income and impoverished populations across the State. The plan outlines how OCS will meet the U.S. DHHS requirements for the CSBG program in FFY 18 and 19. CSBG services and activities are delivered statewide by designated Community Action Agencies located in each county. The public is invited to comment on the proposed CSBG State Plan for FFY 18 and 19.
