CAA leaders should understand the life cycle of a CSBG grant so they can make smart decisions about spending, reporting, and accounting for their funding. This session explored the performance management process, including monitoring by state CSBG offices and the Office of Community Services, and terminating or reducing a CSBG grant.

This session is part of CAPLAW’s Mastering the A-B-CSBGs series, which covers the fundamental roles and functions of the Community Services Block Grant.
