Reason for Recommended Action/Background

The Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) assists the County in fulfilling its obligation to address and operate community-based programs designed to reduce poverty, revitalize low-income communities, and empower low-income families and individuals within Yolo County’s service area to achieve greater self-sufficiency by implementing priorities identified in CSBG – Community Action Plan:
  1. Housing and Homeless Services—Finding and keeping safe, decent, and affordable housing.  Priorities within this service area include housing navigation assistance, supportive services to assist persons to maintain permanent housing, eviction prevention assistance such as help paying rent and utilities, and transitional/bridge housing.
     
  2. Employment Assistance— Finding and keeping meaningful employment.  Priorities within this category include assisting with employer engagement and recruitment, providing job placement assistance, and skills training.
     
  3. Emergency Assistance—Meeting the immediate needs of food, shelter, clothing, and protection from violence.   Priorities within this category include emergency shelter beds for persons and families experiencing homelessness, meals for food-insecure persons and families, as well as safety from crime and domestic violence.
     
  4. Education—Addressing educational needs.  Priorities within this category include providing adult education programs, English as second language classes, life skills training, literacy classes, career/technical education assistance, K-12 retention and persistence services, and access to higher education (i.e. community college, 4-year college).
