Overview
The Center of Excellence (COE) initiative is funded through the Community Services Block Grant. Despite the efforts made within the CSBG network, poverty, unemployment, education, asset building, and affordable housing continues to threaten independence and economic mobility and increase Americans’ need for safety-net programs.
Working within the existing CSBG Performance Management Framework, the COE provides national coordination for a T/TA initiative to identify, highlight, and support multi-year community transformation efforts that move individuals, families and communities towards improving human capacity, reducing dependency and sustaining self-sufficiency.
