CSBG Empowers Local Voices to Solve Local Problems 💬 Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) empowers local voices to solve local problems. Central Kentucky Community Action Council (CKCAC) has CSBG offices in all eight of our Kentucky counties of Breckinridge, Grayson, Hardin, LaRue, Marion, Meade, Nelson and Washington with local staff supporting local folks. 📍 Unlike one-size-fits-all programs, CSBG is designed to be flexible and responsive to the unique needs of each community. CKCAC conducts regular community needs assessment to understand the specific barriers and opportunities in our service area. We use this data to guide the development of programs that are tailored, effective, and rooted in our local realities. 🚧 Not only does CKCAC rely on the community needs assessment data, we also are governed by a tripartite board that includes elected officials, private citizens, and individuals with lived experience of poverty. These board members bring invaluable insight and ensure that services are not only compassionate but also practical and grounded in real-world understanding. 💡 Follow the statewide campaign using hashtags #LocalLeadership, #WeAreCSBG, and #CSBGWorks, and learn how CSBG is helping Kentucky communities thrive—one local solution at a time. -Bryan Conover, Executive Director Community Action Kentucky Community Action Partnership - National Office
