Strategic Collaborations Between CAAs and Tribal Entities

2025

The Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) provides federal funds to states, territories, and tribal organizations to support a wide range of community-based activities to reduce poverty. Tribes are not only part of the fabric of the Community Action Network, but are serving some of the most vulnerable low-income communities. By collaborating with tribes, Community Action Agencies (CAAs) can help raise those communities out of poverty. Whether a tribe receives CSBG funding itself or its tribal members are included in a CAA’s client population, the flexibility of CSBG funds provides opportunities for creative partnerships between CAAs and tribal entities. This resource includes case studies that showcase some of the ways that CAAs are working with tribes and serving tribal communities with CSBG funds.
