Opportunity description

The Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) Tribal Capacity Building Training and Technical Assistance (TCBTTA) project intends to support one organization to help build tribal and tribal organization capacity within CSBG. This cooperative agreement addresses a critical gap in CSBG infrastructure: the absence of tailored training and technical assistance for tribal grant recipients. By receiving dedicated resources for capacity‐building, tribes and tribal organizations will be better equipped to administer their CSBG services, strengthen compliance and program performance, and more effectively use CSBG funds to support housing and economic stability initiatives that align with the A Home for Every Child administrative priority.The training and technical assistance (TTA) provided under this NOFO will include best practices in CSBG oversight, support with budgeting, financial reporting, internal controls, compliance with federal grant requirements, the CSBG Tribal Annual Report, and use of data for program improvements. The training and technical assistance will assist tribes and tribal organizations on conducting community needs assessment and the development of CSBG plans that reflect tribal priorities, technical support for designing and delivering services that align with CSBG goals while honoring tribal sovereignty, and facilitate connections among tribal award recipients to share best practices, challenges, and improved processes in implementing CSBG funded programs.
