CSD partners with 60 organizations to enhance economic security for low-income Californians
California's Community Services Department (CSD) is set to enhance economic security for low-income residents through a series of targeted programs. During a recent meeting of the Joint Hearing Select Committee on Native American Affairs and the Joint Legislative Audit Committee, officials highlighted the department's commitment to partnering with community-based organizations. These partnerships are crucial for delivering services that help vulnerable Californians manage their energy bills and improve their home energy efficiency.

CSD's initiatives aim not only to address immediate needs but also to foster long-term self-sufficiency and economic stability within communities. A key component of this effort is the Community Services Block Grant (CSBG), which supports a network of local agencies known as community action agencies. These agencies are instrumental in tailoring services to meet the unique needs of individual communities across California.

Currently, CSD collaborates with 60 organizations in 58 counties, ensuring that assistance reaches those who need it most. This localized approach allows for more effective service delivery and a greater impact on the lives of low-income Californians. As these programs continue to evolve, they promise to play a vital role in promoting economic security and resilience within the state's diverse communities.
