A G E N D A

The Hawaii Office of Community Services (OCS), Hawaii State Department of Labor and Industrial Relations, solicits public comment on the new proposed 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 2026 and 2027 (FFY 26 and 27).

The CSBG State Plan reflects OCS’s commitment to work with our Community Action Agency partners in each county to meet program goals and comply with relevant Federal and State rules and regulations in order to continue receiving this valuable resource. The CSBG program provides services to low-income and impoverished populations across the State. 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 26 and 27. The proposed CSBG State Plan can be found at the OCS website, https://labor.hawaii.gov/ocs/service-programs-index/csbg/.

No public testimony will be accepted.
